Today I did more packing. I came across a few packages I received shortly before I graduated from UBC in 1997. They were from five universities in Canada. Each one wanted me to do my graduate studies with them. Almost all of them were offering financial support.

At the time, I thought it was too soon, and I wanted to travel. I wonder though now, perhaps I could deferred their offers for a year, and started grad studies in 1999. It’s hard not to think about it now, as I scramble to see where my funding will come from this fall.

I could spend the entire afternoon thinking about where I’d be now had I accepted any of those offers. That wouldn’t be healthy though.

Hmmm… I better get back to packing and cleaning.
