To state the obvious, it's been a while since I've posted. What have I been doing, you might ask. Nothing much. Trying to study for an exam that I'm not even sure I want to pass. Whew. How do you decide what to do with your life? I enjoy engineering. I enjoy teaching people. I enjoy doing research. I think I'm at least passable at all three. Does that mean I should get a Ph.D.? I look around and the majority of people I see with Ph.D.'s seem to be so specialized that they can win acclaim and honor from the academy but may not be able to tie their own shoes. I hate impracticality. The idea of calling seems to just complicate matters more. As a Christian, I desire for my work to be redemptive to this world and its inhabitants. I want to wisely use the gifts I've been given to accomplish those goals. Sometimes it seems like a far jump from the pad of engineering graph paper in front of me to something that grandiose.
My general funk is probably not improved by the fact that iTunes has come across Chandra's collection of angsty chick rock. Anyway, I don't know if these musings are worthy of the "Publish Post" button, but I think I'll hit it anyway. Hope I didn't harsh your mellow.

Never forget that you can tie your shoes better than I can! :)
Which is not to say that bunny ears aren't a perfectly acceptable way of tying shoes.
So who was it? Tori? Veruca Salt? Your Mom Sings the Hits, Vol. 1?
Yeah, so I have a pharmacy degree and I'm a missionary and I still have NO IDEA what I want to do. No worries! Who says you have to have it all figured out (as long as you can pay the bills)?
For what is worth, I understand with absolute perfection how you feel :) As for bunny ears, Chandra and Jamil are alone there... oh with my middle sister whom I taught to do bunny ears after many failed tries at the whole bunny around the tree loop swoop business... but it beats my parents hands-off approach, she would still be asking me to tie her shoes!
Tasha Vice wants to know., Chandra where the hell are you, when are you going to add me to your myspace.
