Back to School.

No I am actually NOT referring to the Rodney Dangerfield vehicle made in 1986.

Maybe I can also jump in pools? Can I have my cake and eat it too?

I am actually referring to the life decision I finalized in May.  Starting August 24th I will be a full time student at the University of Illinois – Chicago.  I will be earning my Masters in Urban Planning and Policy, hopefully with a concentration in Urban Transportation.

My goal is simply to work for a nice consultant or a municipality planning transportation networks.  I have no idea where I want to do this or exactly how I will go about it (though I have some good ideas on the latter).  Suffice it to say I am excited, thrilled, and nervous beyond belief.

I put it to you, dear readers, the questions are:

What are cool kids wearing to school these days? (JNCO, Starter, No Fear?  I JUST DON’T KNOW!)
What design should I put on my trapper keeper? (Alien with 8ball for a forehead?  Anaheim Ducks logo?)
How many days should I buy hot lunch and how many days should I bring my own?

Once I actually begin my studies I will probably put some posts up for serious discussion.  Until then, I have at least one post I need to put up here regarding my second Pitchfork Festival engineering experience.

Toodaloo!
