Last week I stopped by one of my former professor's offices, who also happens to be over the Geospatial Intelligence program. While we were talking, he suggested I stay one more semester (yes, one more semester) to take the Remote Sensing classes, as well as one of the high-priority languages (ie: Farsi, Urdu, Arabic, Pashtu, Korean, Vietnamese, Mandarin, etc). I sat there stunned, wondering, "Is this REALLY, truly what I want to do?"
Over the next day, I thought about it, prayed about it, and ultimately came to the conclusion that it is in my best interest (as well as the nation's....or at least that's what I told my adviser to convince him to sign my graduation extension) to stay on one more semester (*sigh*) to take these classes. I just can't seem to get away from this "bubble" if you will, no matter how hard I try. I sure do hope it's worth it.
