Holy Crap

So I've been accepted into grad school. I'm slightly buzzed, not from any substance, but from the simple pleasure of having about a decade of work pay off. My God, I can change the world if I work hard enough. I can do something *good* and it might matter to more then those I interact with directly. I'll be *paid* to meddle with the basic essance of life, and perhaps even change the way we inteact with the environment on the most basic level.

I mean, yeah, am I making too much of this? Probably, but who cares? I'm a *scientist* now baby! We're supposed to dream big.
