"m.i.t. is where my dad went. it's been a dream of mine to go there. it's best known for engineering, and sciences. i'm going to apply for a mechanical engineering course, and maybe an artificial intelligence course. stanford is much closer. only an hour by plane. it also has good courses for engineering. but m.i.t. is ranked higher for engineering courses. fuck, what should i do?" i muttered to myself.

"don't know! don't know!" uchello squawked.

i laughed through my nose

"okay then, let's make a pros and cons list," i muttered, picking my laptop up, and going downstairs to my dad's lab.

i typed the password and walked in. "J, clear a table for me." i ordered the a.i.

"whoa, whoa, whoa. what's going on?" my dad asked, getting up from his project.

"making a pros and cons list for my choices," i informed my dad.

"alright, J.A.R.V.I.S. can you pull up two t-charts? one labeled m.i.t. and one stanford." i asked my a.i. "take notes."

"okay, pros for m.i.t." i muttered, thinking.

"better engineering school, easier to get into, more noble laureates with the school, higher median starting salary, although that doesn't really matter to me, but whatever." i mumbled.

i began listing pros and cons for both of my options. it took a long time. pizza was ordered... and finished. (there was a short delay when my dad got a car stuck on the roof, and i had to help him get it down.)

finally, at 11:38 pm the two lists were finished. they were long.

"well..." i asked my dad, looking at the two lists.

"i think you know what to do." he told me.

looking between the two options, i nodded. "yeah. i do."
