Master


I have decided. Yesterday I went to Graduate School to get an application form for master's degree. It's the last day of submission of applications but they extended it till next week. The requirements are easy to comply than what I thought and I just need two recommendations. I'm going to take MS Environmental Science.

A week earlier, my undergrad thesis adviser told me to consider getting a scholarship from DOST and he mentioned it again yesterday with my boss listening. My boss was somewhat approving though it would mean I'll resign from my job because the scholarship is for full-time students. The scholarship package -- the stipend, book allowance, travel allowance -- is comparable to an entry level job for a fresh grad. Not bad.

I have been wanting a change in my current career situation and this decision will hopefully stir things up for me. This would also mean I'll be staying in the Philippines for another four years.

I'm happy I made an important decision before January ended. Tomorrow's February 1. What I'm looking forward right now is a break from my 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM routine.
