simplifications

In the end, I decided to attend Stony Brook University in the fall. Although I'll be living below the poverty line, I'll definitely have more opportunities and, I think I think I think, be happier than I would with my other options. So, that's settled. I'm thrilled and terrified, but that doesn't even begin to describe it

I'm glad you made a decision! It's very exciting.

not to mention scary, strange, confusing...

I too am thrilled to hear that you've made a decision..,the future is a wonderful thing - when you really step back and think about what you've accomplished, where you are in your entirety, and where you're going with the whole of your life. Congrats and Good luck, Burt.

thank you! (still not seeing the big picture, but maybe someday...)

Seattle's loss...

...is Stony Brook's gain. Too bad. You seemed to have fun in "big gay city" scenes. My guess is that you'll eventually sort out your memories of K from your memories of the re-entry phase of your undergrad trajectory. Your memories of K will gradually merge with your memories of youthful discovery and adventure, and you'll grow fond of them. I predict you'll donate 10% of the Nobel Prize money to K before you die.

the value of your degree increases with alumni giving!
