Congrats!

I am in my last year and so sick of it, but then again I was sick of it when I first started :rolleyes: . There is no way in hell I will consider grad school. Some of the classes are interesting but I hate taking tests and writing papers. Some people handle it well, but the academic life is just not for me.

Oh, and papers are a much greater pain in the ass than tests, but I do so much better on my papers.

there is a good chance of getting an assistanceship and therefore a free ride if i stay in memphis, so i am aplying here first. if i don't get it though, i don't know where i'm going. there arent too many programs that specialize in what i want to do like the program i am in now.

anthropology. but i wanted to focus on applied urban anthropology for my masters. our program is applied (as opposed to theoretical which i hate because its a useless degree unless you want to go into academics) and our medical as well as urban programs are both pretty good. i'd like to urban with a medical focus and go into public health of some sort. i wanted to work with the school system. lately however, programs in the school systems have been popping up dealing with nutritional healtha dn obesity issues among children so if i wnet the urban with a medical focus i could get into something like that. i am interested in inner city/ urban health and nutrional education. ramble ramble ramble.......

It takes one to know one.

No, someone on the cycling team bought it. The only bike I know of for sale is a Specialized SX (which is cool and all, but not a hardtail).
