Shannon's Graduating!






Just to give you all another little update, May seems so far away right now but with the end of this semester approaching very quickly. It will be here soon. I will be marching in the 2:30 pm ceremony, with NSFA (College of Natural Sciences, Forestry and Agriculture). I am very excited and have been looking into where I am going after this. It's a little nerve wracking but I have decided to take a year off before continuing with graduate school. I need a little more time to figure stuff out and take my GREs before I am really ready for that. I am currently looking at a handful of entry research positions in the Boston area that I could potentially start at in May. Children's Hospital has some openings for Reaseach Assistants - one is even available in their Neurosurgery unit (which would be SWEET! - my focus here is in Neuroscience). Who knows... I am hopeful but trying not to be too much so at this point. I may even be in for another summer of camp depending on whether I have something set before applications are due. So my future is begining to pan out and I think I am liking it...

Hope everything works out for you, Shannon! You're wise to take a year off before starting grad school - you'll be a better grad student with a little bit of real world experience.
