Decision 2012--An Update

No. I'm not talking Mitt vs. Barack.

I'm talking about ME.

Yes, this is a selfish post. 

I pretentiously dubbed my grad school decision process "Decision 2012."  It's appropriate since I've been in the throws of the decision-making process for the entire first half of 2012, and I'll be starting my program/programme in 2012. As far as scope, it may not be as influential as the Presidential election, but for me personally its ramifications are so much more influential, intimate, and far-reaching. 

Lemme break it down for ya: In 4 months, I will be either

here

or here

or here

If you want cities rather than campuses, this is my decision:

this

or this

or this

That, my friends, is my decision. 

Okay, it's a bit more complicated than a bunch of Google images. So much so that I made a spreadsheet for my decision. I know, I'm my grandpa's granddaughter for sure. 

But nevermind that. This is BIG, people! Will my future resume say;

Master of Public Health, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, USA

or

Master of Science International Child Health, University College London, London, UK

or

Master of Public Health, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK

????

I've been praying about and dissecting this decision for 7 months now. And it doesn't seem to get much more manageable. I've felt like either The Man Upstairs is being awfully quiet about it all OR my revelation circuits are jammed. 

But SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE.

I believe that. If I didn't, I'd probably be on anxiety medication right now. nbfr.

In other news, I'm so chocolate-deprived right now.
