“Rice is our Harvard, not a side dish.”

So I totally missed out on Mardis Gras this year. Chad and I were going to catch the start of hte parades in Galveston weekend before last, but the weather was gross. And we were thinking about this past weekend… but I was at Rice all weekend.

Where I had a great time. And found out lots of important things. I now have a major professor, and it looks like I have (interesting) research for the fall. I will most likely be working on the design of non-traditional computing devices, specifically medical equipment. The campus is beautiful, and I really liked everyone in the department. Fall can’t get here fast enough, seriously.

And we bought a lawn mower yesterday. One more step into the real world of grown-ups, I guess.

So I got a call this weekend… from Rice University. Not only did they accept me, but they granted me a fellowship and some other assistance… all my tution is paid for, for four years!

Baylor called today and wanted to offer me a job. I had to turn them down… on account of going to school in August.

Little Kitty got out the other day… she spent 7 or 8 hours in the wide world of suburbia… and then came home. She’s been dying to go back out since then, but we need to get her fixed (!) before then (the last thing we need is a house full of little kitties).

The battle with the dentists continues… crazyness all around.
