GREs over - brain mush
I’m still alive. It was not exactly the most pleasant experience I have ever had, but it is over now.

You too can be an artist. No self-mutilation necessary.

Taking the plunge
I’ve been in academic limbo for the last year and a half. I have been taking graduate CS courses, but I was not actually in the graduate program. That had been the plan, but I needed to take the GREs first. Initially I had wanted to take time to study and prepare before taking the GREs. Monday I realized that that was never going to happen.
So I have taken the plunge. I am scheduled to take the GREs on May 11th. That would be the day after my final exam for Software Engineering; I might as well get all the pain over with quickly. I have my application to grad school in my bag as I type this and will be dropping it off today (once I figure out where it needs to go). Last night was spent honing my answers to the fluffy questions that schools seem to want to know about. I even found 3 suckers kind individuals to write me recommendations.
A part of me is really wondering: “What the hell am I thinking?” I guess we shall see.

NYT: Lesser Evils
This weeks New York Times Magazine has an excelent article by Michael Ignatieff entitled Lesser Evils. I would highly recomend that anyone who cares about the current situations of civil liberties, the war on terror, and governmental control should read this and think about it.
