Maybe I'm not quite ready to begin writing about 9/11 or graduate schools just yet.
In 1998, after 14 moves in 6 years, I decided that I wanted to settle down for a little while. I wanted the chance to stay put. While I had friends on campus and locally whom I had kept in touch with as I ping-ponged between work and school, I wanted the stability to be in community, to stay put for a while.
So I redid my plan of study to add a sixth year. I didn't have very many engineering courses left, which gave me time to continue my language studies. I turned both of my languages into Minors.
