One thing I have truly learnt is that as a graduate (or even senior graduating) student, you’re plans change quicker than you’ll realize. For example, I hadn’t always know I had wanted to do my masters, in fact I only realized I did about a month and a half before the end of my graduating semester. So, I quickly organized the Graduate Assistantship, my visa, and applied to the masters program. Well, I have 8 months now to change my mind a couple of times before I have to make up my mind on what life I choose after graduation. Well, in the past two months it has already changed a couple of times, and each of the three decisions were on different continents!!! I don’t know how many more continents there are left… so I suppose my decision changes are limited. I think that deciding what route you’re going to take after Grad School is the most difficult decision of all, as there are so many factors that play into it, so many factors that you cannot control. Will I get a job there? Will I get a job I like? How long until I get the job? How much will I earn? How much will I be able to afford? Where will I live? How will I live? How long will I live? Is this what I want? What if I make this decision and regret it? What if I chose a different route and that one ended in a pot of gold? What if this one decision is going to change the rest of my life? Can’t I just go back to being a kid again. Every day was a holiday and in South Africa, decisions like these seemed a world away. Wow, I miss those worry-free days. Life was just one big playtime.

Now it’s back to reality… it may be the weekend, but I have decisions to change!
