I Come Alive in the Night Time.

I enjoy driving down empty streets at night, there's a certain atmosphere and strangeness to it when most signs of human life and activity freeze. I used to do this often, traveling between Ann Arbor and Troy, and it was interesting to do it again in LA with Ivan in addition to hanging out with the old crew. I got a few things to take care of in the morning so I shouldn't be up this late, but I'm still making the readjustment back to Eastern time.

I could see myself hanging out in Socal with the old film/skit crew if my path in life branches down the right fork. but right now I don't think that's in the works. I'm pretty sure it's going to be the DC area, but life is a strange and unpredictable affair right? Gotta make the most of it, treasuring the high parts and learning from the lows.

The Plan!

Just wanted to get it straight in my head:

Option 1: Submit grad school application for January, transfer units
Pros: Start new life sooner
Cons: Will have less of a financial padding, more urgency to get my stuff together

Option 2: Work first as a firearms, do more Army training, apply to grad school for September, transfer units
Pros: More financial padding, longer time to consolidate my belongings
Cons: May be hectic, start new life later

Option 3: Deploy in December, apply to grad school whenever deployment ends
Pros: More financial padding, more GI Bill benefits
Cons: Have to get on the battle roster, would still have to start again after
