We talk about the future a lot up here. Graduate school, being the focus most of the time. But it really has me thinking and planning and imagining and realizing. I have no idea what I want to do in four years after I graduate. Grad school? Probably. Industry? Still a possibility. Specialty? Not a clue. Med school?? Most likely not but still in the running.

Will I move across the country? Will I begin my career at a biotechnical company? Will I work for the government? Will I even pursue a career in biology? Will I teach? Will I head overseas?
.
Even considering the path to May of 2009...
Who will I meet? Will I make the right impressions? Will I maintain contacts I know I should? Will I even know? What will I do for the next few summers? Where will I be? What will I learn? What will be the factors in all of these decisions?

And completely random: why do all of those country love songs keep giving me chills these days? but in a really really good way.


While all of these questions taunt my thoughts, once a day when the stars decorate the sky, I hear a voice and remember that at least a few things are for sure. :)
