Really, it’s not as bad as it looks

It has come to my attention that there’s the general impression that I’m really hating life right now. That’s not really the case, and I’ll tell you why, although I need to get back to work so I’ll make this quick.

I’m not regretting my decision to go to graduate school instead of work. I think that it will ultimately be one of the better decisions I’ve ever made. The process of getting applications turned in is draining and seeing more and more of my friends give into the strain, give up and take jobs shows me an easy out that, although I don’t want to take it, is take-able. With things as hectic as they are that option is really tempting and resisting that temptation doesn’t really help my mood.

Our football team is going to a pretty mediocre bowl, but seeing the Big Game last Saturday (which, by the way, we won for the fifth year straight) made me realize that our team this year was sort of over hyped and that the Rose Bowl would have been an utter bloodbath even if we had gone. And the fact that we’re co-champs of the Pac 10 for the first time in a while definitely improves the overall shape of the season. Kudos to UCLA for making that happen, by the way. So yeah, I’m not as nearly disappointed as I thought I’d be as the season closes.

You probably won’t hear from me again until after this is all over. That said, don’t worry about me, I’m fine.
