Red Wine and Hommous

I bought a bottle of red wine yesterday and a wine pump to keep it fresh. It was a good companion to nice conversation with Ian, Rob, and Rob's sister while we munched on veggies, pita, and hommous.

I still don't know what I want to do with my future. I see myself either entering into the School of Public Health, learning more and more about nutrition, finally being licensed to practice clinical nutrition, going into Psychology to complete my expertise on eating disorders, then traipsing off to the corners of the world on a quest for the world to know Jesus. OR, I could concentrate this next year on getting my papers published, presenting my papers at conferences all over the country, and perhaps trying out a new idea of my own (something having to do with a paper on rumination and religious coping), getting a second job, living on my own in an apartment in the middle of downtown Ann Arbor, and finally learning to play the guitar. I guess putting it that way, option 2 does sound more appealing. I'm still praying about it though.

Now that my GRE scores are back, I realize that my future is wide open. I've been looking at schools to go to. I wish New Haven was a nicer place to live because my top choice academically is Yale. Other schools I'm looking at: Stanford, Columbia, Duke, University of Texas in Austin, Cambridge (!!! wouldn't that be fun???), UCLA, Rutgers, Princeton, and more. I think I just need to get out of the Midwest for awhile which means I most likely will not be applying to the program at the University of Michigan.
