Well, yes, I haven’t really been updating too much lately.  To be frank, this is the lull period between acceptance letters and actually enrolling in classes.  To that end, there isn’t a helluva lot to report.  I’m not sorry about it. Last weekend, I hauled it down to Columbus to visit my former roommates and [...]

Not that it makes a helluva lot of difference to the average person, let alone anyone who stumbles upon this site from Google, but the school I worked at last year showed up in a Spanish news report on television.  Chances are, you won’t understand what they’re saying (that is, unless you speak fluent Spanish), [...]

Timothy Egan has a fun post up on NYT called “Dear Graduate“.  Clearly, the environment has changed, even since I graduated about 2 years ago.  Some constants remain unchanged, such as the advice for grads to take risks, otherwise leaving themselves with a life full of missed opportunities.  No argument from me on that front.

My status on the limbo-list at Columbia hasn’t changed.  It seems like I’m obsessed with it, but really, I’m not.  I just know there are a lot of people out there who want as much info on the waitlist at Columbia as they can digest.  This is why I’m here…full disclosure.  I got this about [...]

Here’s the text of an email I received on Friday, letting me know the money is no longer mine: — Dear Xxxx I’m writing to let you know that we have received your tuition deposit – thank you!  We are delighted that you will be joining us and we look forward to welcoming you to [...]
