I have really been trying to get a list of likely choices to send applications to at the end of the year. The internship / grad school work will last about 11 months and take up 24 hrs. of every day. Originally UCONN was my front runner, but the average price of a one bedroom there is $900 plus. I bumped up my second choice of UMASS Amherst, but the price of living plus the reality of the cold temps finally ended the NE curiosity. That left me a little light on the prospect list. After some long searching and digging, I have become really excited about Baylor. It is a very difficult program, but it's closer to the price range I was looking for, and better weather. It's no San Diego, but at least it's a change of location. They only take 8 students a year and the guidlines by which they judge the applicants is staggering. This is looking good but I still need two other solid choices as backup......but my mind just keeps invisioning myself locking down a well enhanced Dallas Cowboys "pep engineer" catching some home games up in Jerry's box......oh yea and something about going to school....Would I have to trade in the "Worlds most expensive Toyota" for a hemi powered, deeeezel engine DUAL-ee truck.

There is always a job for a good out of work college grad at Walmart.
