Thinking About Grad School, Again

Hello Everyone:

A new week.  I think I whined a little too much yesterday over how much work my relationship with the Sometime BF is for me.  The truth is I actually don't spend a lot of time obsessing about the relationship.  I have better things to do.  Really.  I think the latest whining bout was caused by a series of text exchanges between us.  As usual, he was vague about things.  Some of the vagueness is my doing because I don't use text messages for serious conversations.  I prefer Messenger or email for longer conversations.  Also, I think the vagueness has to do with his situation being in flux as well.  It's just frustrating not knowing the status of this relationship.  I want to move forward and he seems hesitant. It's almost like he doesn't want to be in a relationship , even though he said he wanted a committed relationship.  Oh crap, I'm doing it again.  I really have to stop.  Okay, something better.  I'm going to a lecture this evening at the local museum on Spanish colonial architecture in Los Angeles.  I'm looking forward to it because it's something that's everywhere.  I might see some people I know from grad school but I'm hoping I don't run into anyone I know.  Mostly I just want to go and enjoy myself without faking civility.  Once I finished grad school, I was finished, period, end of story.  I've thought about going back to grad school for that urban planning degree, and it's still something I flirt with but I'm not sure what I would focus my studies on.  One idea is focusing on preservation management to balance out gentrification with saving local historic resources.  It sounds good but I think, do I really need to go to grad school for that?  Maybe or maybe not.  Another idea is public health angle: obesity or health clinics.  Naw, I'm not sure how I could work in the historic preservation angle.  Regardless, I would go for another master's degree, not a Ph.D.  I'm not a masochist.  Anyway, I need to go so I can eat something and fluff up before I go.
