Futures abound

While living in Australia, and working a normal job, my mind started to wander. I have so much, time, energy, and resources, what do I want to do? And after some soul-searching and other hippie contrivances I have begun to think that I would be quite happy dedicating my efforts to reaching the stars. The big players in this game seem to be NASA, ESA, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and maybe Virgin Galactic, along with several dozen universities and observatories around the world. Seeing that most of their people are top-notch physicists, I've applied to grad school and hope to polish the rust off my general science knowledge and gain some applicable astrophysics knowledge. At the end of the week, I should hear back from Lund University about admittance into their masters (which can turn into a doctorate) program. If not this year, I think more scuba diving will be in my immediate future. Wish me luck!

I will be passing into China from Vietnam shortly, and acceptance or not, will be attending another vipassana course in Hong Kong on the 10th of April. Much to think about, and my plan of action for after the course rests almost entirely on my application before the course. I should write another post (and buy plane tickets to somewhere!) between April 5th and 10th. Until then!
