If only indicated by the fact that I haven't posted in a while, things have been quite busy since I quit my job and started grad school (see previous posts). I also apologize for the scattered nature of this post, I need a little while to get back into the swing of blogging.I'll try and give a status update for the things that were left hanging in the last few posts, but I don't want to talk too long about my personal life because I suspect most of my readers don't care. And next post will be more fun I promise.
So It's the 3rd week of class. I have had 1 killer assignment and the rest is still sort of picking up. I have yet to pay any bills as a student (because it isn't Feb 1st yet) but I suspect this first round will go pretty smoothly.
Some good news, I got a TA-ship, and through a program called Earn/Learn, am making grad-level stipend! You might ask why this is special since I'm a grad student, but its quite an opportunity because all the regular positions were filled last fall. So I don't get my school paid for, but the ~$300/mo should go a long way toward maintaining my style of living.
The internship fair is this week, and I'm pretty optimistic. The people from Ball Aerospace seemed pretty excited to have me apply as an intern, so with any luck I'll have something to do (and bring in money) this summer.
I suspect the nature of my posts will start to change now that I am a student again. I don't have time to read as much news as I used to, and I predict that my posts will take a turn away from political. But I just wanted to take this opportunity to say how wonderful it is to have an administration that appears to value the founding principles that used to make this country great!
All in all, things are looking up right now.
I think the only downside to school is that I'll have to install Vista on my mac.
