in summary
in one month i have to make this, what feels like, a mammoth decision about where i'm going to spend the next 2-6 years of my life. and now that the initial rush of acceptance is over, and i'm telling people about my plans...well, things grow a little more complex. instead of boring you with details, here is an exchange that exemplifies my current state of being, and the reactions i'm getting, and so on and so forth...
NiragKadakia: what are you going to grad school for?
JoieTang: folklore, with an emphasis in dance
NiragKadakia: WTF
NiragKadakia: i mean
NiragKadakia: cool
NiragKadakia: that's really unique
NiragKadakia: wow
JoieTang: WTF is appropriate
JoieTang: i'm in WTF mode
NiragKadakia: word.
(pause)
JoieTang: do you really think it's cool or are we still on WTF?
NiragKadakia: um i'm not sure
NiragKadakia: to each his own
need i say more? wait, just one more. when my mother realized that this is, possibly, a ph.d. move, her first remark was, "don't forget about your REAL life." she meant, "don't forget about getting married." that's it. i'm done.

dude, they all suck. you need to do this for yourself. it doesnt matter what anyone thinks. it is WTF... b/c its F'ing AWESOME. (reverts back into adult from 11th grader)
oh, and btw, i tagged you on my blog... you're it ;o)
I still can't believe that your mother jokes about marriage when I hear such tales. But she must because she has told me on multiple occations that I should marry Allen. But I'm not Mormon. Does she think I'll convert? Or is she just trying to do my family a favor by getting me married off?
ah asian mothers (yes lee kids, I am Asian...they always look at me funny when I say it). my mom says the same thing verbatim,-anita
