A summer debate

In response to Livia's request I update, here I am. I guess I haven't written because nothing monumental has happened other than the fact that I actually have free time (who knew it was possible?) and I'm content with life right now. Senior design this semester isn't an exercise in our teacher beating us to death in the AE lab every night for 3 weeks straight, and my group is meshing very well. I agree with Emily in that I have finally found a group of people I LOVE spending time with and greatly miss when I am away from them. It makes me sad to think about graduation, and I just hope that we can all take the initiative after we leave GT to keep in touch and visit one another. And this makes me very happy...

I guess I do have one big decision to make right now, and that is what I am going to do this summer. Aerospace Corporation has offered me a job similar to what I did last summer (writing computer programs to analyze satellite and orbital data), but this time with a clearance. I could live at home, save rent, get a clearance, hang out with friends, see my parents, make some good money, etc. Or, Dr. Braun has offered to help me find a job at JPL in something at least related to engineering. I would like to work at JPL again, and living in California is always an adventure, but rent is high, it's far away, and I'm not guaranteed a job. The catch here is that I have to decide about Aerospace (and whether they should put in the request for my clearance) this week/weekend. I've been thinking about it for a week and still haven't made up my mind. Any thoughts on the subject are welcome and appreciated!

it's all about the Eric Factor ;-)

in all seriousness though, if you need to debate it out loud some more, you know where to find me.
