But this means I'm definitely leaving my jorb and going to grad school in the fall. The other place left it uncertain because they haven't come through with a funding offer yet. Of course, I would get in somewhere.

There are two possible difficulties here: I suck at ODEs and PDEs and have little interest in that sort of thing and I'm not a terribly good programmer (I do want to get better, of course!). That cuts out several of the paths available there. I'm also not, at the moment, interested in anything even remotely involved with mathematical biology or biostatistics. But, hey, this means the numerical analysis class I'm taking right now could be extremely useful (instead of merely rather useful).

I'd do a happy dance if I weren't in a rush to get a bunch of crap done at work.

One of the plusses is that it's pretty close to here and we have a lot of friends and such here that the wifing unit would want to visit. There's even a relatively cheap train ($11) that runs between here and there.

I'm rereading The Hobbit. I had forgotten how much more of a children's book it is than LoTR. It has a very avuncular tone. It was the first real adult book I read in first grade and I definitely understand now why I had a much easier time going through it than LoTR. That took forever and I hardly understood what I was doing.

I left my wallet at home. Looks like I'm ordering lunch online somewhere. But where?! Where?!?

Anyway, this means I'm a winner. Except in chess, I lost a rather embarrassing game last night. And in benching, it didn't work well last night. I didn't eat enough, I don't think.

Apparently there's a local 70's Big group and they made shirts and compete in meets and everything. Sweet.
