Everyone keeps asking me, &#8220;So then what are you going to do?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the past I just smile and shrug.  I haven&#8217;t thought all that much about it.  Tonight I&#8217;m thinking about it.<\/p>\n<p>I know this semester is going to fly by.  I need to start planning.  I&#8217;m pretty sure I want to go to graduate school for History, but I&#8217;m not sure where.  Chico?  Long Beach?  Santa Barbara?  I don&#8217;t know.  I guess I&#8217;ll apply to all three and see who accepts me.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I think I&#8217;ve had enough of college for a while.  I think I&#8217;d like to work for a bit.  I&#8217;ve got plenty of time to work on my masters, right?<\/p>\n<p>I think I want to apply at Union Pacific Railroad.  My friend Scott and his coworkers have a wild work experience that I&#8217;m sure I would dig.<\/p>\n<p>If only the state&#8217;s financial crisis were over I could work for the Department of Fish and Game, or the State Parks.  I know I want to stay in California so I can&#8217;t apply to the US Forest Service or the National Parks Service.  If you work for either of those two Federal agencies you could get stuck just about anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Grad school or work?  I&#8217;ll apply everywhere and see what happens.  Any of the options I&#8217;ve described above would make me happy I reckon.  Just as long as I&#8217;m not commuting to work 90 minutes each way Monday through Friday 40 hours a week and sitting in a cubicle I&#8217;ll be fine.<\/p>\n<p>And now I will attempt to relax so&#8217;s I can get some rest tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomorrow is the first day of the my last semester of my undergraduate studies.
