An Interesting Article

http://www.the-scientist.com/2008/6/1/32/1/ . The magazine is called the Scientist (duh).

This article is an interesting look at evolution. Give it a chance... I know it's long. Anyway, please read the article and let me know what you think.

On another note; I've been thinking a lot lately of what I want to do with my future. Am I capable of surviving grad school? Am I smart enough? Sometimes I just don't know. I mean I could get smarter, spending all of my free time studying up on everything. But if you know me at all you would have to agree that I don't think I can do that. I do feel like I am settling down a bit I guess but still... When I'm at work I feel like I know very little and everyone is gaining knowledge around me exponentially while I'm still adding by 1's. I'm ok with being what I am right now, for the rest of my life, but there is a little voice inside me that keeps telling me to get my Ph.D. I would love to do that honestly. That would be my dream, that and have a wife haha. Honestly, I don't know if I can do it...



Thoughts?
