So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | In English, the future is neuter. [EDIT] Sunday, June 22, 2008 @ 10:47 am Sometimes, through some trick of relativity, the speed of life outpaces the speed of light. Now that my time in academic purgatory is coming to a close, all of these life changes are hitting me all at once. And as excited as I am for them to be happening, I am also struggling--though not in vain--to keep up. Recently: - I earned my Certificate of Achievement in Cultural Anthropology. - I won an entrance scholarship to San Diego State University upon admission to their M.S. Cell and Molecular Biology program. - My aunt in London is planning to name me the primary beneficiary of her estate and the sole executor of her will (because she has no children of her own and knows that out of all of her older nieces and nephews [I am the second youngest], I am the only one with the ability to do it, and moreover to divide the estate fairly). By the end of the summer: - I will have earned my A.A. in Anthropology, and will be one class away from completing my Certificate of Achievement in Medical Anthropology. - I will have bought a new car (most likely the Mini Cooper Clubman). - I will have relocated to San Diego for at least the next two years for graduate school. - I will have completed my 16-month tenure at NASA Ames Research Center, during which I had at least two co-authorships on scientific papers relating to astrobiology and chemical evolution. By the end of the year: - I will have completed my first semester at graduate school and be well on my way to fulfilling my degree requirements according to the 30-unit program-of-study. (I am carrying over 5 graduate units from San Jose State and I plan to take 12 units my first semester.) - I will have found a thesis advisor so I can start getting thesis work done ASAP. Lots of good things happening and a lot of shit to deal with in the mean time. But that's just the way that life goes, I guess, and you have to dig through the crap to see the treasure underneath. EDIT: I almost forgot! My cousins from Hawaii are coming to visit soon--in about 2.5 weeks. I haven't seen them since they came to my college graduation two years ago and pretty much were the reason why I had one of the loudest cheers when I crossed the stage. (I'm pretty sure being towards the front of the alphabet helped out too.) In the span of a little over a week, the entire family will be road-tripping to Napa, Santa Barbara, the greater Los Angeles area, San Diego, and Las Vegas. I'm excited yet fearful that all that time in a confined space driving through areas notorious for high temperatures will ultimately get on my nerves and make me a generally disagreeable person. Mostly, I'm worried about how I'm going to survive driving around with my mother in tow. Ah well, can't dwell too much on the potential-negatives. It's vacation! 7 Comments. El futuro es masculino. You know, if my future looks anything as focused, successful, and driven as yours, I'll be happy. I know you're listing the positive things and not the amounts of work that each outcome entail...but regardless, that's a hell of a list (nice estate too, btw :D) » The-Muffin-Man on 2008-06-22 02:09:06 Oh mr fancy schmancy researchy grad student man! Don't become old and haggard and awful :( » ikimashokie on 2008-06-22 02:30:27 Good lord, that's an amazing amount of things to be done in such a short amount of time!

Three years of spanish hasn't failed me, now I shall never touch it again :P » The-Muffin-Man on 2008-06-22 05:29:08 Wow, that is a lot of stuff.
