We'll all be safe from Satan
When the thunder rolls,
We just gotta' keep the Devil
Way down in the hole.

--Tom Waits

Still trying to decide between Baltimore and Roosevelt. I think I'm leaning toward Baltimore now, even though I've really been trying to talk myself into Roosevelt because I love the city of Chicago so much. But when I'm actually honest with myself, I think UB is the better option, and that a degree from there will mean more in about five years than a degree from Roosevelt.

But Chicago just has so much extra appeal. I was there on Tuesday night, sitting in my hotel's bar (on the 15th floor) and staring out the windows (two whole walls were nothing but glass) at the Sears Tower four blocks away and the most wonderful view of downtown I've ever seen, throwing back Long Islands and Sauignon Blanc.

I loved Baltimore too, it's just not Chicago. But for the moment (and I've switched several times already), the program at Baltimore is speaking to me louder than Roosevelt's.
