Grad School Tango

March Madness is creeping around the corner, and I am not referring to the college basketball tournament series.

I have accumulated an interesting list of graduate schools that have accepted me into their physical chemistry programs. They are University of Illinois at Urbana-Campaign, University of Colorado at Boulder, John Hopkins University, and Ohio State University.

I visit UIUC this weekend. I will be at LA Tech the next weekend (March 7th and 8th) for the annual Society of Physics Students Zone 10 Meeting. The following weekend (March 14th-16th) I will be in Baltimore to visit JHU, and after JHU that next weekend (March 20th-23rd) I will be in Boulder, CO visiting the CU campus there. Then, for the last weekend of March (29th-30th), I will be visiting OSU.

Of course, the fun doesn't end when March wanes. The first weekend of April is the 235th ACS National Meeting & Exposition in New Orleans, LA. I guess there is consolation in the fact that I will not be adding more airline miles for that trip compared to the previously mentioned destinations. However, I have to prepare the two posters I will be presenting: one on a topic tangent to my undergraduate thesis and the other being my undergraduate thesis topic! Oi!

And when all is said and done, I must make a descision by mid April. I wonder where I will be next year.
