OK Edition

So I'm in my parents new house in Oklahoma, and I must say, it is nice. Sorry, I just don't get that weird feeling of "moving into a new house." I didn't the last time we moved. I don't get it now. My parents are here, our furniture is here, and the whole family thang is still here. So this is one of my homes. The house doesn't really matter as much.

Talked with the new Graduate Student Advisor about my options. He definetly liked the suggestion I sit in on the PhD micro courses again and listen to the lectures. He also liked the idea of me taking PhD courses and doing the Thesis option for my MA to at least have some research under my belt for when I apply again.

So this semester I will be writing a Master's paper on International Macroeconomic Theory. I just need a hypothesis. I'll be talking with my Macro prof this semester, and he will apparently be the one advising me. Next semester I choose another prof who's class I'm taking and write another. So my schedule for next semester will not change much. The only change might be my metrics class, but I'm discussing that with the professor right now on which one will be the best course to take given my new situation.

So I will have one more year at SMU, and then I will either be accepted to another PhD program, or join the working world. Neither one is a bad option.

La Ardilla will be coming up in a few days. I'm happy about that. Sad to see her go afterwards, but I won't think about that too much. Jejeje. Time to just enjoy the week.

The sis is moving back to KC, the bro is doing very well in WA State, and engaged. Life is good.

See you all back in Texas.
