I just filled out the Missouri voter registration application, and I made so many mistakes. They will laugh at me when they get the application. First, I think I signed in the wrong place - the entire appication has boxes with labels at the top of the box (like Name or Address) and the information is supposed to go at the bottom of the box. So I ( Read more... )

Internet has been procured! And approximately one sixth of our house - the computer half of the living room and the kitchen - actually looks like normal people, rather than box-collecting nomads, live in it ( Read more... )

We didn't end up getting either house I posted about. We put in a bid on the first one, because the second went under contract the day after we saw it. Given the market analysis for the area, which said that the most anyone else in the neighborhood had gotten for a house was $145 per square foot, we put in an offer of $145000 (it was a 1008 sq ft ( Read more... )

It's official. All my grades are posted. I am a college graduate, and I've managed to fool every teacher I've had so far into thinking I'm smart ( Read more... )

So I think I'll be accepted at WashU. I recieved two e-mails today, one from each of the EE graduate admissions faculty/staff, telling me that I should apply for a fellowship. The professor went to Edison (where Terry's dad was quarterback) if you care, you can read his e-mail: ( here )

So I was standing around, talking to my mom, when suddenly this sharp pain shot through my hand. I looked at my hand, and at the base of my middle finger, a bruise was starting to form. My hand was throbbing for about ten minutes, and I still have a somehwat painful greyish bruise where my finger meets my palm. Quite bizarre ( Read more... )

Only one of my grades is posted. :( But it is an A in Waves and Optics, so I'm happy. :) I really didn't know how Holmstrom would grade me, since it was entirely subjective on his part. So, thank you, Holmstrom, for not only letting me take an independent study from you during your tenure semester, but also for giving me an A in the class. My ( Read more... )
