of course of course. it's just that I've also been forever considering to take my masters and it took me two years of mulling over all the "consequences", but at the end of the day, it was really a question of how much I wanted it, the rest of it is minutiae compared to that seminal decision. I've just passed my application last week at Diliman, and I still don't know how I'll be managing my sked when the sem starts, but heck, I'm really happy that did it :)
