During the dinner while discussing my future, Mom wanted to find out more about financing my graduate school education. I have told my family that unless most of my education is funded, I'm not going to go. I must be paid in order to get my PhD.
"Mom, it's either seven years of graduate school or seven years in Israel."
She gave a "oh my god, this wasn't what I expected" look. Everyone at the table laughed and gave wry smiles. I said, "I'm sorry, but these are the things I'd really like to do."
I can't believe that I honestly have to start thinking a bit about what I'm going to be doing a year from now.... 13 months until graduation. YIKES.
