			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The University of Texas at Arlington has been kind enough to take me back as a returning student. Right now I am waiting to hear from The University of Houston to find out if they&#8217;ve accepted me or not. While both offer excellent Mechanical Engineering programs, I would prefer to attend UofH as it puts me closer to home. My desire to be close to home is not for the typical reasons, save for the economic advantages. If I&#8217;m home, I have near-immediate physical access to what one might call a &#8220;team of engineers.&#8221; That team just so happens to have known me for essentially my entire life. I think I would be hard pressed to not finish with honors if I complete my studies surrounded by that kind of support network.</p>
<p>The decision is supposed to be made by tomorrow, which means I may well have to go there physically to find out what is what. Hopefully they accept me, and I can move on with something that resembles a plan. As I must be out of my apartment in San Marcos in a month, having some idea where I am going would help a lot.</p>
