Got accepted into Rice's graduate physics program.

lil, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help with my statement of purpose, seriously, I polished it up nicely after getting your input almost one year ago.

I'm still waiting to hear back from four other schools, then just, ahh, you know, choosing my life's course. It's not really a big deal.

Also, kids: don't fall in love before you're 32 or so. It's just not convenient.

Thanks for the shoutout and major congratulations. In case everyone else sitting here in the pub overhears our conversation, I want to tell them this: am_Unition is highly skilled and multi-talented like everyone else on hubski.

However it seemed as though the first draft of his statement of purpose was more a statement of lack of purpose. He wrote humbly as if every decision in his life had been made for him including the desire to go to grad school (it was a year ago and I'm only remembering this vaguely). I only suggested that he make the letter more purposeful. YAY, you rock am_Unition. Now you are sitting in the bar and can get loaded. (I don't mean in the rifle-loading sense).

Badged because we can't badge personal messages, which... ummm, might somewhat defeat one intended purpose of badges, but consider it a small token of Hubski gratitude for the help you gave me.

Cheers, my friend!

Big congrats on your acceptance!

Preach. Trying to decide where you're going to be, for how long, and when? And with whom? It's rough. All that is looming on the rapidly-approaching horizon for me too.

Thanks. :)

The uncertainty can be upsetting, but we'll all ripple through the eternity of humanity. We already have.
