I GOT IN I GOT IN I GOT IN I GOT IN I GOT IN I GOT IN I GOT IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!
So, so, so...Raytheon has this program where they let you work a reduced number of hours and take an increased number of classes, all paid by them, in order to get your masters degree *faster*. And I hear tell it's pretty tough to get in but I GOT IN!
What does this mean? It means that instead of taking a measly two classes a *year*, I get to take 4. Which means instead of taking four or five years to finish my masters degree, it's looking like I'll be done with it by the end of *next year*. Crazy-awesome! Woo hoo! It means more work, o-course, but then it will be *done*, and I'll have more money! I'm excited, so you should be excited too.
So I've decided that after I finish my masters, I want to learn something else. Here are some candidates:
How to play the drums (the full drum set).
A language. (Japanese, Spanish, Croatian, whatever).
Heck, both!
It's a short list, but I'm sure it will grow.
Okay, what else, what else. Oh, several of you know, and several of you do not, that my great-aunt on my fathers side passed away recently. Certainly not good news, but we had time to prepare, and the end was peacefull, and I hear tell she even liked my e-mails. (Ya ask me, she's probably reading this *right now*,). But the service is up in seattle this weekend, and I'm going up, thanks to a plane-ticket from the associated grandparents. Much thanks!
So I guess I'll have to cut this blog a little bit short, cause I've actually got to catch my plane pretty soon. So catch y'all soon. And see some of you even sooner, I suspect.
I GOT IN I GOT IN!
