Ready, Set, Go!

Just a quick midweek update. Finally my grades for the winter quarter are set and done and I am most pleased and thankful to say that my quarterly GPA for Winter quarter was a 3.65. Now, if only I can duplicate that success for the remaining four quarters, and achieve phenomenal scores on my GMAT/GRE–then I will be set for graduate school. And in case you didn’t get my slightly subtle hint with the four quarters remark, pending successful completion of all my classes, I will be FINALLY graduating in June of 2009. Mark your calendars; the day is set. You are cordially invited. What I will graduate in? Still up to the gods. Lately, I’ve taken a fondness for Apollo. So maybe he will shoot some arrows into the right people and things will pan out the way I am hoping.

As far as graduate schools go, Professor Laird has stated that she and I will begin discussing what options are available to me and what directions I may want to explore soon. She is such a great professor; it would be awesome to do graduate studies under her. This quarter I am truly having a blast going hands-on (well almost) with the Roman art from the Louvre. Oh that I could only show pictures of those amazing objects I am researching now. Getting back to graduate school for a moment: the short list currently includes Rice University, Notre Dame, and the University of Texas.

So work continues well, school is busy and hectic as usual–THREE papers due this week–and the prospects of saving up some money to take a much needed vacation home in a few months seem good. Or maybe the parents can help with that–since I know you read this…

It feels so good to be a freaking SENIOR! The end.
