Rah for the U of M!

Yay finally home...and forgetting the whole coming out thing, I have one big disappointment. I forgot to re-register my computer for a DHCP assignment so I have no internet. I re-registered about a few hours ago this morning, so hopefully I'll be back online in Comstock soon!

So I'm sitting in Coffman B60. I actually enjoy the time I spend here. I get to use a smooth sexy sleek Mac rather than my silly old fashioned Dell. If I had money, I think I would start saving to buy a new computer in the next year when I get to grad school...ha ha ha who am I kidding. I'm gonna get a lame job working somewhere and make like 70K-100K a year. I'd really prefer to do research, it doesn't matter where. I just like the idea of being on a college campus the rest of my life. I get to be in a community where people walk a lot (a rare thing in the United States), new ideas are rushing around, and to top that off, I get to be affilliated with a variety of sports teams. Doing research at a university sounds so much better than doing research at a company. Moreover, I'd get the opportunity to inspire thought into others, such as with teaching classes. One doesn't find that working at a big-name corporation, at least I wouldn't think. Any which way it happens though, I gotta be near a big city whereever I choose to end up working. None of this North Dakota or Alabama crap. In fact...I'm just gonna say NO! to the entire southeast, southwest midwest except for Minneapolis and Chicago, Virginia, New Mexico, Arizona, and Denver.

UPDATE: Ok, so I didn't tell either of my parents on the phone as I had intended to do. I am just going to wait until my Dad, again, asks me about going out with girls. I will tell him then. I just can't start a conversation, on any medium, talking about it. I'd rather have it just be a point of clarification. And I know he will ask me sometime in the next month or so. And, it'll probably happen on the phone.

Now's a good time to come out. Heck, we just found out that Honest Abe Lincoln was gay. You're in pretty good company.
