Return of the Blog

I know everyone always says "Don't write posts about not having posted in a while." Well f that, I'm going to do what I want. I've been ridiculously busy these past months. Applying to graduate school, accepting to graduate school (!), coaching two teams to the state championships, and having one win, planning a trip to Las Vegas, having a birthday, working a crappy job, quitting that job today. All in all, I've had my hands more than full. I would like to talk about a few of these subjects, possibly over the course of a few posts. Applying to graduate school was not a last minute decision, but a last minute action. I got most of my applications out just before the last deadline (of February 1st), and waited. First (and so far only) to respond was University of Maryland, Baltimore, which was the top school that I applied to by the numbers. I went, interviewed, and was accepted one week later. Probably much less stressful than many other people's application processes.

Let me tell you about some of the other schools I applied to however. University of Delaware has requested my personal statement three times, my application fee, my transcript, and a recommendation a second. As I'm sure you can guess, they've been taken off my list. I applied to Seton Hall just in case I got in nowhere else (no offense to Seton Hall as a school, I love the Pirates, but their graduate chemistry program is a little small). UMass spurned me from the beginning, and Case Western is being slow. All in all, I got in my top choice school! Sweet. That's about it for now, I have much to talk about over the next few days of semi-unemployment.

Hello

So, I set this up in March as a sort of personal outlet. As I said previously, I run several blogs, but everything has been dropped recently, as I am graduating from university with an undergraduate degree in biochemistry, in 8 days! I will hopefully use this to detail my journey into the real world. I might take my comic blog to send some initial traffic this way, but we'll see.
Today I took an exam, fixed my laptop, purchased a photoframe for the graduation gift I got my girlfriend, picked up a camera charger, and then got to work, doing some last minute assignments for biochem, and now I'm working on my biochem takehome exam. Is anyone out there in a similar situation?
