Visiting Randy Kuhl and Fisher

Yesterday was the day I chose to drop off my Safe Climate Act packet to my Congressman. His office is right in Fairport, and naturally when I dropped it off I had to give it to a staff member. Even though this was the week they were supposed to be in their offices I gave it to a staff member anyway. I wasn't dissapointed, I figured something like that would happen. The only thing I could hope for was more people doing the same thing I did. That way it would get more attention and maybe he would pay more attention to its detail.

I also went to Fisher yesterday. I breathed in deep and took it all in. I can't believe that after 18 years of my life, knowing nothing but school in September, I won't be going back . There are a lot of emotions involved in this situation, but I feel like I made the right decision to take a year off.

I had a good talk with my old professor Paul. He gave me some good advice on how to allocate my time eviciently. One thing we talked about was attending a conference and how that would look on paper for graduate schools. He suggested dusting off the research project we did together and give the paper some more editing. I will definitely be taking this course of action not only to serve my purpose of getting into school, but also to gain a good taste of what I want to do in academics.
