At this point in time, we are still unsure of what lies ahead once we finish our time here in the Philippines. Bobby has thought more about graduate school and programs and it seems that he will be taking a different direction than me. He is also contemplating some of the best schools. I have been doing some investigations into different programs at the schools that offer something along the lines that he would like to study. My god, what a hefty line up, Harvard, Columbia, Yale… among the ranks of institutions that I have never even considered even looking on the websites! The programs seem interesting enough but I don’t know if I can do this!!! First of all to even get accepted into the schools but to PASS, my god, to PASS!! It is a terrifying thought. I will never know if I don’t try, I won’t just dismiss the thought.
I think at this point we will reapply to Peace Corps but it doesn’t matter what country we get. Bobby wants to enter into a more scientific field of study where a language requirement is not necessary. I still don’t have any more clear of an idea than I thought that I had origionally when we were planning on going to the Middle East to study Arabic. I figure these next few months will be packed with plotting and dreaming. It is exciting to think of where we may be this time next year. I am looking forward to our time here coming to a close and moving on to the next chapter.
