An update.. in a hurry

Dang it. Whenever I want to post in here, I always have something else to do.

Hello again. Haven't posted in over two months now. It hasn't been an uneventful two months, but my life is significantly different than it was before ("right, so how can your life be different in just a manner of two months?"). I got notice from all my schools and I know what I'm doing this summer.

So a quick recap of what's been happening:

  • I dropped Differential Equations
  • I got into grad school (RPI, got rejected everywhere else)
  • I have a research internship for the summer


So I guess I will be sticking around Rensselaer for a few more years. I'm happy I got into the CS PhD program, and that I was offered a TAship. It hurts that I didn't get in anywhere else (though, it seems the sole reason for that was my GPA). But, I guess I'll have to take it as it comes. I'm working with the best at RPI, and I am in good hands. The Computer Science department here is great, I'm comfortable with them, I know everyone already, so I'm in good shape, right? I'll be doing research that I want, with the person I want, at a school I am comfortable at. But four more years... what will my life be like in four more years?

At this point in time, it seems that I'm just waiting for this chapter of my life to end. I'm just waiting for all the courses to finish, for commencement to roll around, for me to get my degree. And then... a new life begins. As a researcher. Wow. And then, in a few years, I'll hold a PhD in Computer Science. How cool is that? Dr. Suzanne Matthews. Scary...

I'll probably talk about a few things later. For now, it's lunch time! So I got to go.

And did I mention Dan and I are moving in together?

And so a new life waits to begin...
