Congrats JustinX :) I'll be down there on Tuesday to help move that 20 gallon for you............ to my livingroom :D
Justin it takes 6 months to get on the list for a Neurologist around here. Get up here and start a practice so we can get in to see you.

Thanks guys! Well, for now a well deserved year off is in order, but then it is off graduate school for my Ph. D in Clinical Pediatric Neuropsychology. It will be a long road, but well worth it in the end. I figure that i had better become a doctor because you all got me hooked on the most expensive hobby in the frickin world!!:D
As for the next year, I will be doing research on the cognitive decline associated with dementia and alzheimers. Its a pretty cushy job, that pays well. I am one of the lucky ones to have a job right out of college. most of my friends are still looking for a job. I guess good grades paid off!

Congratulations!
Let me give you some advice on the Ph.D. route. Start collecting info on your topic as quickly as possible (and put it all in a reference manager, like EndNote from the beginning). Research the department and find the professors for you committee who will be helpful. Be wary of those with reputations of holding on to their students for many years. Any good advisor will want you to succeed, and do it quickly.
The most important part of grad school is finding your work ethic. Find the work schedule that is best, find the sleep schedule that is best and stick to them. Treat it like a job, and you will be amazed at how much free time you have.
Then use student loan money to travel the world! Once you get a job, you will never have the time to travel.
Good luck...and have fun!
