Carry all of your thoughts.

It's been while since I've had a post of substance. Consider the slump broken.

As it stands, as soon as I finish my AP Art History Exam, I am a free woman. I have three weeks of school left, all of which are chock full of lovely exams. I'm a bit blase (pretend there's an accent grave there...) on studying. Even if I do get 5s, the only one that is going to count is Calculus BC. At the same time, I don't want to disappoint my teachers with getting anything less. Decisions. Decisions...

Speaking of decisions (oh I know that was a really weak transition. Please give me some of your amazingness, Jacob!), decision day has come and gone. I sent in the reply form awhile back. I'm officially an MIT Engineer :)

Over the past few posts, I have been trying to reconcile my feelings about whether or not I made the right decision. For me, it's absolutely clear that I did. I could not imagine myself anywhere else. Apart from this, I am just itching to get out of South Florida and back to Cambridge. I have about four months until this can happen and I am trying and failing to decide what to do with my summer.

Option 1: Interphase. This would sole the problem of being in South Florida because I would leave in early June and stay until early August. At this point, my happiness is directly proportional to the amount of time I spend in Cambridge and inversely so to the amount of time I spend in Forida . The downside is that the program relies entirely upon application. Also, the program is almost identical to MITES, easier as far as I have heard. I question whether doing it would be productive or beneficial.

Option 2: An internship. This option is looking very nice. However, after 30 minutes of perusing fastweb.com without any luck, I have decided to put things on hold. I can always look at other connections. Mr. Friedman or Mrs. Krauss might have something for me.

Option 3: Stay home. Of course this is the most economical of all the options, assuming the internship is unpaid. And it is perhaps the most advantageous. I'll have a lot of time to build friendships with my MITES buddies and those I met at CPW. I'll also be free to get a job and earn some cash (perhaps continue the tutoring stint I have now, expand it. *grins deviously at the thought of unabashed capitalism*) I'll also have time to commit to serious study o MIT's OCW lectures in multivariable calculus and physics. In order for MIT to not completely kick my ass, I'll need more preparation than what I currently have.

So many decisions and conflicted feelings.

But, as Hosseini assures his audience in The Kite Runner, There is a way to be good again.
