grad school (and other future life adventure) musings.

i've only been at high trails for a month, but i'm trying to sort out my next life adventures. i know that i want to go to grad school eventually, and it's been on my mind more lately. here's what i'm thinking right now...

i like new england. i like michigan. i'm learning to like the west coast. i like mountains. i like the ocean. when i continue my education, i want to study something having to do with water management and/or sustainability. it'd be great to travel abroad.

i could stay at high trails for a while. i could apply to graduate school. i could apply to the peace corps. i could get another job somewhere doing something awesome.

schools i'm looking at:
university of vermont: m.s. in natural resources with a focus on aquatic ecology and watershed science
university of michigan: m.s. in natural resources in tandem with a peace corps assignment
university of oregon: m.s. in environment studies (very interdisciplinary program in a cool place)

ah! it's a good thing i don't have to make a decision anytime soon.

ps. i found a place that PAYS you for cardboard and metal. exciting!
