The Mississippi State Bulldogs just beat the Ole Miss Rebels by 20 points! Ole Miss was 15-2 coming into the game, but only 2-2 in the conference. We just improved our conference record to 5-0. I love beating Ole Miss!

We're gonna beat the hell outta you! Maroon! White! Fight fight fight!
Mississippi State, WHOO, damn right!

Well, in about a year my wife is going to apply to a phD program at Colorado State University. I will be applying for jobs in Denver in the quantitative financial world (financial mathematics with an emphasis on statistics). I'm trying to convince her to focus on veterinary parasitology. She really has her heart set on teaching college. I think she ( Read more... )

Boy howdy, things have been hectic. Graduate school is one big studying orgy. I was worried sick (almost literally) about my math stats exam. I was sure I failed it miserably. I was trying to figure out how I was going to finish my master's considering that math stats is at the heart of the core curriculum for the statistics master's degree. But ( Read more... )

I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics. I just finished my last exam for my elective course (Modern Elementary Mathematics II). As long as I scored 84 or better, I can keep my A and improve my GPA that much more. I'm so excited ( Read more... )

I'm in! I just received an e-mail yesterday from the dean of graduate studies at Mississippi State detailing my acceptance. They still want copies of my transcript at the end of the summer and all that jazz just to make sure I have a degree and all (which I have already applied for and will be able to pick up after August 3rd). The party is on. I ( Read more... )

The only graduate school I will most likely be accepted to is Mississippi State. I just received an e-mail from them explaining that my application is final, and acceptance to their graduate program is pending.

I'm nervous.

I can't believe it! I passed my exit exam! When I finished taking my exam I was having serious doubts as to my ability to get a four year degree, but I just got my results from the Division head/Dean and I PASSED! She said I didn't even squeak by or anything. Man, I'm ecstatic right now. If I can just pull C's on these last few number theory tests ( Read more... )

Man, I'm smoking physics this semester. Number theory might be having its way with me, but I am tearing up some Physics II. I just got my test back which featured a score of 99. I'm so glad my wife suggested I take this course; it's loads of fun ( Read more... )

Peyton Manning is the greatest QB of all time. He will play for the Broncos one day. When he does, I will love him almost as much as Mr. Elway.

I'm wide awake at 3:23 AM and I'm slowly watching my life take shape. My application to Mississippi State's statistics program is under way. I already have two well respected alums of this university as references (woohoo). Now if my physics professor (who has work experience at said university) agrees to represent me, I feel pretty confident I'm ( Read more... )
