Phone call from the past

31Mar04

It was miserable out today so I didn’t go for a run. Hopefully tomorrow will be nicer.

Got an email from a professor at Oregon State who I emailed months and months ago about graduate study. She was email backlogged and didn’t respond until now, but her response was very positive. It’s obviously [...]

Niamh mentioned that I haven’t been updating my weblog lately. I told her I’ll update when I hear from Cornell. No sense in updating if I have no life events to report on.
Well, I still haven’t heard from Cornell. I was rejected from UCSD a few days ago, but I don’t really [...]

Financial freedom

18Mar04

I just set into motion the consolidation and refinancing of my student loans. I now have all of my loans locked in at 3.375% with nelnet, which is actually a few hundredths of a percentage lower than my current variable rate loan. And significantly lower than the 5% my upcoming Perkins loan was [...]

Murphy’s Insurance

Hopefully this will provide some karmic insulation against getting in [...]

Christmas is coming to my graduate school list

15Mar04

The green and red are creeping into my Graduate Application list. Today I got two letters: one from Indiana accepting me to their program and one from Carnegie Mellon’s Psychology Department rejecting me. Indiana has also volunteered $13,250 a year plus tuition waver for two years, which I suppose is how long the [...]

Off to see the blizzard

06Mar04

Niamh should be here any minute, and then we’re off to Granby, then to the airport on Sunday and to Colorado! I’m excited.

Interview went well today. Let’s hope I get the job so I won’t be poor anymore.

Less than shabby

04Mar04

Well, after a dramatically depressed entry, I am happy to say that I have been accepted into the M.S. program at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Cool. It’s a much smaller committment than the Ph.D. programs, which is appealing. And will put me in a new and exciting place. If [...]
