The Masses Have Spoken...
And they have overwhelmingly told me to knock it off and stop being dumb. Twenty people voted on my magic poll about Grad School and a vast majority told me to shut up, sit down, and finish what I'm doing now before I worry too much about the next phase of school.
I guess this is a problem I have. Christy was talking with me about it the other day, as we were watching Google Earth drive us from Logan, UT to Indiana. She commented that I always focus on the future, sometime losing sight of the present. I have done this for as long as I remember. Problem is, my plans for the future seem to change all the freaking time. Take my school plans, for example.
Pre-mission, I wanted to go into medicine. I even declared that as my major when I went to ISU. Then I went to Iraq, and kind of had enough of the whole medicine thing. I went to USU and declared myself a Political Science major, planning on Law School. Then I realized that I like History way more than Political Science, and changed my major again. For a while, I thought about still going to Law School. Then, it changed to teaching High School. Then it changed again and the new plan was getting a Masters and teaching at a community college somewhere, until I got my PhD. And now, the plan is Grad School in History/Library Science. Whatever. I'm sure it will change again, and I'll apply where I apply, if I apply, and post another poll, which is what you all wanted me to do anyway.
Whew! Focus on the task at hand! Silly Patrick...
