Monitors,Grad School and Rajah

...So much for posting once a week, at least I've got excuses.

The good news is I managed pulled a 90 on my PDE test, and I set the curve on my programming test, meaning that very little stands in the way between me and graduation. I also was accepted in the graduate program I applied to, for the next two years i will be working on a Masters of Science in Environmental Systems at Humboldt State University, and I'm thrilled. The program is interdisciplinary combining; geologists, environmental resource engineers, math modelers, and students of international development technology. The program has us work together in a more "real world" context, but still gives out individual degrees (mine will be an MS in Environmental System Math Modeling). Suffice to say you'll hear plenty more about this...

The bad news is that my monitor crapped out. The damn thing isn't even that old, but poof, dead. So now i have to scrounge up so money to go get a new monitor ( you know, so i can use my computer at all) and they aren't that cheap! Plus I'm being forced into ordering a flat monitor from the internet!

We also took Rajah into the vet to get, um, altered. The surgery went fine, and he's getting his stitches out today. The good news for him is that now that he's at least 5 months old and fixed, we can start taking him to the doggie day care when we go to school. So instead of being bored at the house all day when we're gone, he can go play with other dogs and earn some socialization benefits.

Hopefully my monitor will come soon...
