Curse your branches

So I have to come up with a thesis topic pretty much right now. My proposal is due in month along with a revised paper about copyright infringement. Five months to go, the hardest five. Perfect time to cut out all the slack in my life and streamline. At least this is what I chant to myself when I start to get sentimental.

The thesis train is leaving the station and the next train is "the move" and "the job" train. I would like to commit to where I'm moving next. I'm out of excuses not to. Thesis has started...I'm really and truly single now and don't have to worry about how what I do will affect another...and I have to job search. I guess if I want to be honest with myself, it's really between here (I guess), Chicago, and New York. I get nervous just typing that. I hate to commit and leave out all the flowery possibilities of other cities like New Orleans, Tucson, and Austin.

Speaking of flowery possibilities, I'm pretty close to getting a new tattoo.
