Fall Break, grad apps, and a special shout-out

Friday, October 26th, 2007

How to make fall break more work than real school: Finish all of your graduate school and grad financial aid applications. Done and Done. Okay, I admit, I watched all six episodes of Star Wars today. Since the band officers are not here, I’m not going to bother with the nerd bust. Our secret. Shhhhhh.

In the midst of my application blitz, here’s what we’ve got going so far…

Princeton University (EE) : Done

UC Berkeley (EECS) : Done

Purdue University (EECS) : Virtually finished

MIT (EECS) : Personal Statement pending

University of Notre Dame (EE) : Started

NSF Fellowship Grant : Mountain of essays pending

I thought I swore these things off four years ago. Alas, it would seem that life is one giant form. On a good note, I can now spew useless personal information at record speeds.

As it is now appropriately after midnight and therefore Friday, I’d like to say happy anniversary to Brittany. I cannot believe three years have gone by so quickly. You’re the best person I know and I love every minute I’m around you.

The squirrels! The squirrels!

I love you.

Oose over and out. Hopefully this post constitutes a much more honest effort on my part towards actually writing on a regular basis. It’s been a crazy fall so far and I’m sure at some point I’ll get to writing about all of the other things going down in the ‘Bend. Stories, thoughts, and shenanigans from the ladder are due in my next post.
