Wandering off to a Buddhist monastary for a year or so, spending a few months (or maybe a full year) with my family in Salt Lake City (hopefuly while working in a neuroscience lab), and then graduate school

What about you?

I'm applying to graduate schools right now, so hopefully I'll be entering a Ph.D. program in the fall.

My ideas keep changing... Some combination of touring Asia/Latin America visiting family/friends, teaching English, and farming...

If I head to NYC to see my Boricua/uncle/sister then I'll work as an electrician and anything else I can find...

If I head to Seattle *for Jewish/Pinoy family* I'll get whatever kinda odd job I can.

If I head to Chicago *for Chinese family* I'll do whatever as well...

If I decide to stay in the Bay/LA I have jobs lined up already...

Not set at all if you can't tell... I applied for 2 jobs in China, one as a volunteer for the olympics and one as an English teacher. If those both fall thru then I think I'm just gonna stay down in Panamá for a few extra months before roadtripping out to NYC, then I wanna spend some time visiting the aforementioned here in the states before I head out to Taiwan to get a Master´s degree in probably Nursing...

What about you? Working?

What are the likely options these days?

grumpydoctor October 23 2007, 23:03:01 UTC

you know eric at this point "running away and joining the circus" seems the most likely option

seriously i have absolutely no idea

If you join the circus, you are obligated to go back to Mr. Miller and say, "I told you I was going to become a clown!"

traveling this summer and then grad school... master's and phd.

dogfog October 23 2007, 22:43:43 UTC

Where are you traveling?

shortnsweet October 23 2007, 22:45:59 UTC

the plan right now is israel, turkey, austria and germany... home, and then a roadtrip in the West to see some national parks.

dogfog October 23 2007, 23:54:35 UTC

Wow, I really want to travel this summer and those are many of the countries I want to see... not that I've actually been taking steps to make this happen yet.

I'd like to see Israel, Turkey, Czech Republic, Egypt, and perhaps France and Spain. I also haven't seen Yosemite in hella long and love parks in general. Maybe we should talk.
