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

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
