Well it is coming to the point where my time in Ohio seems limited. It seems crazy that I have been here at tOSU for the good part of six years. I truly cherish my time here and the friendships I have made while being a student here.
I would be lying if I said I was anything but ecstatic about moving to Illinois. It will be the first time in my life I have lived anywhere but Ohio and should really test my faith and independence. I do not think this will be much of a test though, because as it has been pointed out I am a pretty independent person. Anyhow, a different scenery can certainly change people and that will be the big test...to stay true to myself and continue to do things that make me proud to be me.
It will be a great thing for me to move away so I can focus on my work and my goals. To be honest other than my family these are the things I want to be consumed with. I truly believe that I am the kind of person who is so competitive that when I commit myself to something it consumes me. Maybe this is why it is a good thing I don't have a ladyfriend, lol. But anyway I am really anxious to get started at Illinois and have hopes that the experience will be life changing and my next 3-4 years will make me a better person; as well as, a better scientist.
