what a rush yesterday was!

rushing around to settle my administrative stuff before i fly off, transporting things to the storage area, buying presents for people back home. finally able to settle down for a breather. flying home tomorrow. finally. this past 8 months postively flew by. can't wait for fall term to start though. and it doesn't help that i've to report to my unit 7 hours after i touch down in singapore. where is the love?

been thinking hard about what i want to achieve for my education here in the states. well, all these thinking started basically with the realization that i can never hit a 3.8 gpa. and that sucks because the public policy masters program that i wanted to apply to has a 3.8 minimum. and they accept 4 students a year. i don't really feel optimistic about my chances there, hence i started thinking about what to do. and arrived at the conclusion that i shall pursue a double major in poltical science and economics, but a masters' degree in either economics or industrial engineering. kelvin gave me this advice while we had lunch at arby's yesterday. if the payscale is dependent on the masters' degree, and the payscale determines (partly) your success in the organization, then it's only wise to pursue the masters' instead of trying for something that i really like but impossible to attain. i guess that's it then. that's the plan for me now. have to do more research on the respective grad programs though.

ok, have to head to borders now.
