back
well... i'm back from the retreat and florida... i'm a slight bit tanner, and i have another challenge in my faith. grammatical structure is wasted on me.

when i arrived back home, i had 2 more thin letters waiting for me. thin letters aren't a good thing when you're waiting on grad school responses. dammit. JHU and UPenn are crossed outta my list of hopefuls. now, it's just MIT, UCSD and UofM's masters in computer science program to wait on. damn... we're in a tight spot.

will i even be able to go to grad school? where's my life headed? should i resign myself to a life of punching keys like a well trained monkey for corporation x? can i admit that my life is going to be a life less extraordinary? am i relegating myself too quickly?

moving
all those questions and not enough answers. i'm formulating my 1 year plan now. in the case i don't land a graduate school appointment, i'm going to move out somewhere. definately before next academic year. i'll worry about the details of cost of living and all that jazz when it comes up.
