Oh yeah, that letter

I got my official acceptance letter in the mail on Friday.  Woo!
I’m a graduate student.  I’m going to get my Masters!
There goes my free time.
I have a meeting with my advisor Tuesday morning, and we start at the end of March.  Between then and now, I need a new study desk and I’m going to [...]

General Updates

1. Still waiting on the letter from grad school.  Maybe tomorrow?
2. I think I killed my car battery trying to jumpstart it.  I’ve called AAA twice for help, and the car starts right up.  The first time, the car started up (very slowly) for a while but after the second time the car didn’t even [...]

And now, the wait begins

According to their online status page, they’ve decided about Graduate School.  They will let me know via mail.
I have to wait for a freaking letter.
Not that I’m complaining, but I hope that I get a big honking envelope in the mail before the weekend’s over.

Weekend Roundup

Two weeks left to go.  Two weeks, two weekends, two whatever…  the simple fact that I need to make it to a week from Saturday makes me very happy, but knowing that I’m so close to the end makes the side-effects so much worse.  I want it done!  I want it over.  Now!  You’d think [...]

Daily Accomplishments

Did Laundry
Made teh Birthday Cake of Fattening +2
Ordered Laptop for school
Hit level 58 and moved into Outland

All in all, I got everything done that I wanted.  What’s on the agenda tomorrow?  Besides drinking, of course.

Technical Vegas

Even though my school plans are at a standstill until I receive a piece of paper in the mail, the Vegas plans are starting to fall together.
I’ll fly out right after work on Sunday morning, spend the day settleing into the groove and sleeping, and then the fun begins.
Expected shows: La Reve since it’s in [...]

The Upcoming Week

1. It’s January 15.  My last shot is on February 13.  WE’RE IN THE FINAL MONTH!!!  WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
2. Project Grad School is on hold until I receive my official transcript in the mail from KU.  I hope it will arrive this week, so I can move ahead.  I fully expect to be taking Undergraduate Requirements through [...]

Life? What Life?

Stupid leaked copies of 24 on the internet…  making me watch them early.
Okay, I just watched the first two episodes tonight.  Tomorrow is Ugly Betty/30 Rock and I’ve got to work on Friday, Saturday, and Monday.  I’ll watch the second pair on Sunday to get caught up.

I’ve decided on DePaul as the home base for [...]

Oh ouch…

I just took a basic calculus placement test on the web, and while I did look up certain topics that I knew but didn’t know off the top of my head because it’s been FIFTEEN YEARS SINCE I USED THEM I thought things came out fairly well.
(Fifteen years?  Really?  Yikes!)
Actually, things didn’t come out well [...]

Lap Top Thoughts

If I’m going back into school, with an emphasis on long distance learning via computer, then I’m going to really need a laptop.
I hate laptops, I hate the idea of them, I want a real keyboard and mouse, and I’ll always stick to my desktop for gaming.  But, I could see how everything would fit [...]
