I need some serious advice from you!
This website is great and I am curious to know what advice you'all have.
Those who know me know that I want to go back to Alaska like really bad. I assumed that sinse I quite and gave up my dream that I was cut off forever.
But today, just out of curiousity I called UAF (university of Alaska Fairbanks) and asked them if it would be possible for me to return and finish what I started up there. I went there fore one semester of grad school.
I am in Houston now, hate houston, hate my job. My best friend lives in Indiana, my family is spread all over the country in various places...not in Texas.
Anyway, they said YES! I could fill out a "leave of absence" form and go back almost like I never left.
Well, Alaska is cold in the winter and very dark but I love Alaska. I would be 3000 miles away from the nearest relative.
Should I go back. I really want to, my heart tells me YES, but my mind is saying...wait girl, are you SURE this is what you want?
Please help, I am not sure what to do?
snowqueen, have you considered a light to help with the S.A.D.? People that use them have great things to say about them. Check this out. I like the Feel Bright Visor...lightweight & portable. You could wear it to class if you had to.

If I go back, which I probably will, I plan to get my PhD in engineering. I already have my BS in Mechanical Engineering, but believe it or not, you can't get very far with just that unless I wanted to go into management which I do NOT want to do. I want to go into analysis, which requires a PhD.
