Hahah, I never really ever update this thing, but for some reason I feel like I should have a blog. I don't even know what you put in them or anything. I mean, what is the motive of a blog? It's purpose to me (for me) is just to get things out there, and maybe to get others opinions. But I think it's good to reflect just at the least to be able to take a critical eye to what has happened and the feelings that are currently being felt. I am ready to be finally starting grad school. I am now finishing up my Senior Spring semester, and will be graduating. It's a relieving experience but I have a lot more to do before it is all over. That said, I don't want to focus on that, but I would rather just kind of talk about the directions my life is going.
I really don't know what I want to do after I get my graduate degree. I am feeling right now that I would like to go out of the country for a year, most likely going to Germany, but I am not quite so sure what I would do there. I would like to do research as I learn the language and experience the culture. I hear they have a good program in solar technology, but I really do not know where I want to focus specifically in Electrical Engineering. Overall, I just want to go for an experience and to try something new as well as to learn more about another culture and a way of life. I think I will like it and I hope that it happens.
After that though, my mind is sort of blank. I have been toying more and more lately about possibly getting a PhD. I feel like it would be interesting to get more schooling and I think I would enjoy being a professor some day, but it's not really a way I thought my life would take. I do want to have industry experience, but after co-oping, I just wonder how much I feel like I can fit into the regular work cycle. I enjoyed my co-op and I liked what I did, but I wonder what other more non-traditional options there are for them. I want something where I can be creative and contribute something to society as a whole, but who knows...
That said, I have also felt a need after moving so much with school and co-ops, that I really kind of want to settle down and I would like to move back home to do so. But all that I am leaning to right now seems to be delaying that by 1-6 years (or more). I just wonder how it will all work out, but I have faith that it will.
I think that's enough for now; maybe I'll write again in less than a year.
In the end the time will tell
How the things have been
How the answers came
And the questions never went
I feel the most in the end
Of the passion of the sun
And I wish that in beginning
I would have felt that I would've won
