Another Day
Not much in the way of interesting stuff has happened lately. Aside from the Steelers winning the conference championship and Pittsburgh going completely nuts, that is. Oh, and Katy's birthday was Monday. She's now "a year older" than I am, but that will only last another few weeks.
Classes are moving along as predicted, and Elias Towe finally gave me a spreadsheet that correlates the nanotech institute's projects with the principal investigators, so I can talk to them about research. I'm trying to line something up for this summer and/or fall because if something works out, it will significantly help my application to the M.S./Ph.D. program, to which I am planning to transfer (from the "ordinary" M.S. course program) after this semester.
I'm eating a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel, and I'm drinking a cup of coffee. They're both from Bagel Factory. Yum.

So, when is your birthday? And how old will you be? Good luck on transferring to the M.S./Ph.D. program. Gosh, when you get your Ph.D., that will mean that I know two doctors that are younger than I am. I need to step it up. I'll have to see if I can "double doctor" in medieval French literature and African theology. Wish me luck.
Oh, and the bagel sounds really good! I bet it would taste excellent with a Black Cherry Vanilla Diet Coke.

Sooo am I surprised the Ph.D. is the next step? Is the pope catholic? Both stupid questions. Of course you will get the Ph.D. By the by what language will you be taking or do you need a language anymore as part of a Ph.D.? Do they accept computer language as on option?
We are in Maine however last night we were in Boston's North End with friends who live on the waterfront there. They are going to move to Newburyport fairly soon. They live in a beautiful penthouse condo overlooking the city and the water. Wealthy, yes!! We went to one of their favorite Italian restaurants in this Italian section of Boston. We had a wonderful time, were joyfully greeted by the owner who is very friendly with our friends and we ate superb meals not ordered from the menu but ordered specially for us.
From there we drove directly to Maine and got here at midnight. Then up at seven for breakfast at the Rib with the locals.
Hope you are well. Happy birthday to Katy. Hugs from us.
