Last Friday I mailed my candidate reply form to NYU declining their admission offer. I can’t tell you how many emotional evenings I spent weighing the pros and cons, complaining to Corner about how difficult it was to decide, and even pressing him to make the decision for me. I went to the ITP space [...]

I got into my first choice school! Hooray! I have the chance to attend NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications program. It was my first choice Masters program, and I got in. However, I wasn’t offered any funding, and NYU isn’t cheap. I would probably finish the program with about $80k in student loans. And that would only [...]
This is something I’ve been keeping close to my chest for awhile. Corner has accepted a new job with the Asian Longhorn Beetle program in New York City! We are leaving Monterey in two weeks. That means we are getting ready to make the second cross-country move in 2 years. Moving never seems to get [...]
Okay, I did a Google search on this, and it seems that no one else has pointed out the fact that songs from Disney movies are chock full of GRE words….and it’s a really good way for me to remember them. Here’s a list of the words I’ve discovered so far: Pontificate (from The Return [...]
Well, on Saturday I took the GRE! As you may have noticed on Twitter, the day did not start out very smoothly. In fact, it started out with me stuck in traffic for far too long on the way up to San Jose to take the test. A truck full of red peppers had tipped [...]
Well, I am officially registered to take the GRE on Saturday, September 25. That will be one more goal down on Day Zero list. Wish me luck, as I’m pretty sure my quant score is going to be fairly abysmal. :) Updated list of grad schools to apply to: Interactive Telecommunications @ NYU Interaction Design [...]
Can we talk about how today I woke up to over $5000 in my checking account, only to pay off a $3700 student loan? And that the rest of the money is already spent (June rent + bills + student loan payments)? And how I sold my laptop to Mike and really want to buy [...]
Corner and I are mostly moved into our house now (though we still have to procure a microwave, washer, dryer, and a few other miscellaneous items). Now, to work on making some friends in the area and we’ll be all set. I think that’s the hardest part about moving to a completely new place: having [...]
University of Michigan UC Berkeley Carnegie Mellon Stanford Now to take the GRE. I have a feeling it’s going to be absolutely brutal. I bought tons of study materials and have started working my way through the verbal workbook. I would like to think I have a pretty decent vocabulary, but I usually only get [...]
Soooooo I customized this player and everything and IT’S NOT WORKING. But while I iron out the technical details you can still give this a watch and let me know what you think. Subscribe, leave comments, leave video responses, etc.!
