    On Just Taking the Lift

    Posted by Kris on August 10th, 2007

    I head back to Houston tomorrow mid-day.

    This week was so sickeningly action-packed that I constantly forgot where I was. A visit to University of Maryland’s fire protection engineering department proved to be mind-expanding yet makes my decision for graduate school that much more difficult, like blinding insight on a decision for how to spend two to five years of your life.

    Also this week, getting great advice from my advsior, co-advisor, and another NIST fire employee regarding life, computational fluid dynamics, grad. school, the philosophy of fire, and other such fire things. I got to take pictures of every book on the fire research bookshelf too before I left, this makes me happy.

    The bad part of the week? Seeing close friends leave for the long-term, sort of like a lightning-fast mental death.
