Rollercoaster

It's been a roller coaster week! My mood has been up and down this past week, mostly due to the successes and failures of the Shuttle-Tracking Project, which, I'm happy to say, is finally working! We got some good data on the bus location, and it's published to the web in real-time.

Other than that, I've been settling down on my decision for my future, and it looks like I will be going to UCSD for graduate school this fall pursuing my PhD! The prospect of spending 5 years doing cutting-edge research is both daunting and exciting at the same time. Right now I'm just trying to digest it, thinking of random contingency plans if things go horrifically wrong.

Summer is also shaping up to be exciting! From June 10th - 19th, I'll be in New Zealand with Jen, and then it's off to Stanford for a month at the Graduate School of Business Summer Institute, and then two months in Belgium at CREAX. I was under the assumption that CREAX was going to pay for my plane ticket out to Belgium, but currently we're still talking about how that will work out. Hopefully I can manage to get over there in one piece.

That's all for now! I'm sure I'll have some more ruminations as time goes on...

My New Blog!

Welcome to my blog! I haven't decided what I'll use it for, but it's going to be cool!
