Notes From BziallandNotes From Bzialland - LiveJournal.comTidbits: I'm a civilian again- June 27, 2008 A few days ago, I retrieved my mail from our mail box and saw a packet from the Air Force. I was somewhat confused and briefly wondered if it wasn't some sort of activation order. So, I opened it up and actually it was my official discharge papers from the Air Force reserve (in this case the Individual Ready Reserve). So, I'm now 100% a civilian.The C-section is scheduled for July 9th. There are some blood pressure issues so it could potentially be earlier but as of today, at least, we're...http://bzial.livejournal.com/536470.html Oldest Known Recordings of Computer Music- June 20, 2008 http:news.bbc.co.uk2hitechnology7458479.stmhttp://bzial.livejournal.com/536173.html The Early Bird Catches Nothing But Air- June 13, 2008 I've run into a snag in my plan to get all my graduate school applications done as soon as possible. It turns out that the majority of schools I'm applying for aren't accepting Fall 2009 applications yet.

I'm somewhat worried that my primary reference might be unreachable...http://bzial.livejournal.com/536016.html Surrender Dorothy!- June 8, 2008 Today was supposed to be a simple trip to some outlet stores one county over.Simple.So...the drive up there was pleasant enough. Weather looks like it is turning a little bit bad but the forecast (yeah, yeah I know), suggested things wouldn't get really bad until the evening. We were arriving around 1:00 PM, so I figured we're good.We get out of the car and my wife asks, "Is that the tornado siren"There is some discussion because it is a bit distant but when its distinctive trail off we...http://bzial.livejournal.com/535671.html Next Stop Applications- June 2, 2008 I just got finished with the GRE general test (650 V 93 percentile, 720 Q 77 percentile). Decent enough but not as high as I would have liked. Though I am not particularly surprised. Given that I seem to be roughly equivalent to nsight7 in general capability, I expected to get something within +- 10 or so of him. I would have liked more time to actually prepare for the thing but that just wasn't in the cards between school and the new baby. I did have a few days to at least review for the..http://bzial.livejournal.com/535316.html |
