Update

In reference to the job options...

I chose option 1. There is a long story I want to blog about, but feel like I can't. The process has been pretty terrible for a variety of reasons and, as indicated by a previous, immature post, I'm a little bitter.

But, the decision is made, I'm happy with where I'm going and I need to study because, well, having a job won't do me much good if I flunk out of school.
