It's been a month and a half since my last post, and I'm proud to say, I haven't flip flopped. I am still feeling good about my decision to not do the program. The reasons behind the difficulty of the decision are also clearer to me now. The program itself was very attractive: really great school, exciting city, chance to break out of my bubble and experience new things, interesting subject, new people. But the big picture, the down-the-road stuff (i.e., the career) . . . not so appealing anymore. I needed to sacrifice the short term stuff that I was looking forward to, because that path no longer would take me where I want to go. I'm just happy I'm not regretting it. The door's not completely closed yet, since I just deferred my enrollment, but I'm 90% sure I'm going to say no when the time comes for me to tell them whether I'm coming next year.
My month of travelling was just what I needed. The trip single-handedly saved 2010 from being total crap, as it was one of the best months of my life. I'll probably write more about the trip some other time

Glad to hear you made the right decision!!!
I'm also glad to hear that you made the right decision for you. :-) Traveling has a way of taking the mind off things, and also kind of clarifying things in the process as well.
