Researched Urban Planning

For whatever reason, last night I couldn't fall asleep. I hate just lying there and not doing anything. I didn't particularly feel like reading so I figured I'd look into grad schools. The way I see it, the time I'm not spending exploring or working I should spend productively and now is as good a time as any to figure out what I might be trying to do late July. Yeah ... I really have no idea what I'm going to be doing much less where I'll be doing it once the voyage across Spain is done.

For the last six months to a year I've basically had my mind set on trying to get into the UN working to promote literacy. Working at ING has shocked me out of that. I'm fast realizing that I really really really don't want to work in a large company/organization/whatever. I want a group of people small enough that everyone could sit in on a meeting, except I hate meetings. The way I figure it, if you want to talk about something, go talk when you first think of it, don't plan for a meeting in a few days. I understand the need for them if you've got people working in different things on different schedules but that's my point, I don't want to have to deal with that.

So I started looking into something else I'm pretty interested in: Urban Planning, which from what I can tell is planning out how cities should work/be designed/change to meet the future. I've found quite a few places that seem to have good programs at a decent price. San Jose State's is by far the best deal and throw in the fact that if I went there I could probably live ridiculously cheaply with my dad and that's a winner. I'd really like to go somewhere new though. Today is going to be about researching what they have available in Europe!
