Masters of Public Health. Mostly looking at American top 10 programs, but looking a little in Europe too. I have a few friends who came to the US for undergrad and it's worked well for them. I need to look into how well a European program would translate back here as I will probably stay in the US long term, but I wouldn't be opposed to moving to Europe permanently should the right opportunity arise.

I'm officially employed on a permanent, full time basis. Unfortunately I'm not super excited about the job, but it's a job and it pays pretty well. Gonna see how it goes and if I don't like it, stay for a bit over a year then go get my Master's and if I like it, stay longer to save up, maybe long enough to get into the pension (thanks government work). I've already been working here in various roles for almost a year, but the starting pay was non-negotiable and because I'm starting after October 1st, I'm not eligible for the annual raise in the springtime, so I already feel like they're kind of tossing me aside which definitely isn't a good way to start. For that reason, I might keep looking for jobs even though I really only need one more year of experience before I can apply to the master's programs I want to. Trying to start this job with an open mind but it's going poorly.

Yeah it's a great album. Shame it's not longer.

And he just released an album yesterday. Hear Me Out. I hesitate to call it an album, its not even half an hour in length, but it's a start. nowaypablo if you care as well.

A lil (heh) late to the party but oh well.

Name: c_hawk

Location: Not Syracuse NY anymore. I love it.

Age: I can drink in the USA, but can't rent a car.

Current preoccupations: Work, because I'm employed; trying to entertain myself because I live with my parents and don't know anyone near me; reading interesting articles online and just absorbing knowledge

Previous Preoccupations: School, but I've graduated Magna Cum Laude which is nice; playing with my roommate's cats both of whom I miss dearly

I'm employed! It's a temporary grant funded position, but it has the potential to be extended, and is a great foot in the door either way. Because it's temporary it has no benefits too. Yay being young and mooching off my parents' benefits. I'm going to miss that so much.
