more on housing

[athene]

It looks more and more like it would be a better idea for Aerith and I to buy a place, espcially b/c there are places for sale in our apartmet complex that we could most likely aford. The thing is that means at least another 2 years in the area. The problem with that is that I'm not really all that intreagued with grad schools at UMass. I don't want to "settle" for something. I don't want Aerith to have to "settle" for something either. But maybe I should look at everything in my life that makes me happy and weigh it against "settling" for everything that is just ok and see how it comes out.

*sigh* The more I look at all the graduate programs Tufts offers, the more I want to go there. Of course, they're one of the few grad schools I've looked that that doesn't seem to do much for tuition wavers or stypends.

It's not easy to see the way forward, but it is easy to see the way we've come. Don't settle. Nothing makes the view as you look back quite as ugly as 'settling'. Do what makes you happy, be with who makes you happy. My ex's mom says, "It never pays to get cheap bras or cheap shoes." The same can be said of experiences. There's got to be another way it can all work the way you'd love. May She send you the wisdom to find that way.
