a hairy predicament.

As if the final days of my Master's career weren't stressful enough, I was presented with this when filling out my graduation form.

How am I supposed to know if I'm going to have facial hair or not on May 9th? That's weeks away, people. Currently I've let my beard grow out, yes, but odds are I'll be sick of it by then.

The irony of it all is that I spent so much time being preoccupied with them asking me such a question, I don't even remember what I chose in the end. My facial hair destiny is set, yet I haven't the slightest clue.

Hopefully it won't matter and my "other defining visible characteristics" will set me apart from the crowd.
