Oct. 14.: Back to the grind tomorrow. Me and a classmate are meeting with a cog sci professor tomorrow morning to plan a seminar on a particular topic we're interested in next term. That's one thing I can't emphasize enough – I really like the freedom and flexibility I've been given here to pursue the kind of things I want to pursue.
That's what my first 5 weeks in the sandbox have been like. I would encourage who wants to go to graduate school to contact me if you have any questions or want advice. Graduate school is not for everyone, but if you are interested in a career in research, I think it is worth the time and effort. Choose a good school and make sure you're doing what you really enjoy doing.
That's all for now.
Cheers,
Doug Yovanovich

Way to go Doug! I like the sounds of UCSD's style of allowing graduate students to pursue research in fields which particularly interest them. Sounds like a good place to be.
