*hugs* I don't know if you remember or read (or I wrote) about most of my grad school issues.
I applied to where I wanted to go. Got waitlisted at UMD, rejected everywhere else. I finally heard back from them mid-APRIL, and they expected a decision in a week. So I said yes, not realizing that my priorities had changed (dramatically), and not realizing that I wasn't the same person who had made all these grandiose plans.
So up to MD I went, and tried it out. I was *UNHAPPY*. The friends I made up here made it bearable, but only so much. I finally came to the conclusion that this isn't the life I want.
I'm glad I went, I'm glad I checked this out and tried my hand at it. I know that this isn't what I want. So, I'm heading back.
It's ok to go to grad school, and change your mind about it. Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. And yours is far from small. :D Do what makes you happy. Try that which you think will make you happy. But never do something because you "ought to" or you "need to" or you "should". Do it because it fulfills you and you enjoy it.
Ok, I think I'm done pontificating. If you want to chat about all this, just gimme a call. :D
