Intense introspection and Ayn Rand references? Too hot for teh internets Juniper. I think you just come to the artic tundra, so we can frolic with the polar bears together. Just sayin'

Oh, and the GRE's not that bad. I thought it was kind of fun, actually... We'll see whether or not I espouse the same sentiment after taking the Cell and Molecular Biology GRE.

My test center had noise-canceling headphones that were NOT big enough for my head. They pinched so tightly that my glasses were being pushing into my head the entire time, not to mention the piece of ear that

To a degree I empathize with you, Juniper. I had always had SCHOOL crushing me into discrete tasks, and now that I'm a tech in a lab, I have free time. Creating structure out of order is difficult, to say the least...

I have tried so hard, but I can't quite seem to shake the dream of going to grad school in Europe. London, especially, somewhere like UCL or King's College. Or maybe

JLK,

Hi! Good to see you here.

The place where I took mine had those really old computers where the monitors have rounded screens and the text seems to waver and your eyes feel like they'll

New England, hmm?? Have you ever spent 4 months in sub-zero temperatures and snow up to your knees? Haha, think twice about that one.

But seriously, if you want to move somewhere different, now is the time to do it. I am so glad that I chose to go to graduate school on the opposite side of the country. It gave me incredibly valuable perspective. New England is quite different from Cali.

Fantastic post, Juniper!

I'd love to tell you to realize your 18-year old's dream of moving to New England for the selfish reason of wanting to meet up and have beautifully intellectual discussions (or arguments) with you over coffee, but (hopefully) by the time that could reasonably occur, I will be off somewhere else far away in a grad program. Though you might still have PD around....

Excellent post!
