Chad

Now that school is out, summer has started and it's yet another challenge. Chad has started/joined another research project at ASU and will be working there during the summer. Unfortunately, I can't tell you a whole lot about it because I don't know much about it myself. But he's really liking it so far and so I'm happy for him. :D Speaking of Chad, he has decided to drop the Astrophysics major and just do general physics. In doing that, he gets to graduate this fall. (Plus, he's kind of become disenchanted with the whole Astrophysics thing anyway.) We're both pretty excited about him being able to graduate though!
He was looking at the process (and prices) for him to take his GRE this morning and we realized why more people aren't going to school - $300 to take a test!! School is exhaustingly expensive (not to mention the price paid in stress!) But it'll be worth it. Eventually....Right??
This morning we were also looking at and thinking of schools for him to go for graduate school, and to my not-so-shocking surprise, our options are very limited (due to extreme pickiness) :) We don't want to go anywhere cold and all the warm options aren't exactly places we want to live.We would both really like to stay in Arizona and we'll do our best to stay here (we belong here), but we are considering other states. Yes, Utah is one of them... but only because I don't want to go to a NEW cold place!! :)
So we'll see. Chad will just have to pick a few, apply... and then hope for the best. Hopefully that's exactly what he gets!
