Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining

I've come to realise there's no such thing as a "good" or "bad" day. I was really fustrated with work (lab report, anyone?) today, but the evening went well. For one thing, the grad sch/MBA panel was kinda fun to go to, and Prof A. was really nice to me. I mean, he was like "you should come to grad school, think about a PhD" to me. Offered to approve a transfer of credit if I took his class next semester. And I'm really, really tempted too. But it time conflicts with other stuff... Decisions, decisions... Then TBP went for ice cream and I'm soooooo full with the jumbo sized bannana split (so big they give a way a t-shirt if you can finish it in 20 mins alone). I got my t-shirt, but I think I'll be paying it in diaorrhea tommorrow morning. My CSI came in tonight too, so I watched one episode before turning to bed. I still need to play around with the lab report, and get ready for tommorrow's quiz. Argh.

Some thoughts about the whole grad school issue: I don't know if I'll ever feel self-directed enough to ever be a success in business or in research for that matter. On the other hand, I seem to handle academics really well. I suspect its because I like things nice and safe, and "safe" for the time being is school. Its a habit and a mindset I need to work around as soon as possible. The upshot is I feel like such a cheat when Profs suggest I do grad sch or somesuch - I don't think I'll ever succeed like they expect me to. Nevermind. Its late and I don't have time to ponder deeply about stuff like this. Tommorrow's going to be one heck of a day, and I need to get my ass to bed.
