Math 509 10/19/2009

Bare with me on the audio for this one.  It is still a bit soft and hard to focus.

Shift in Focus

Now that I am in Graduate School I rarely get a chance to play poker so I am going to shift the focus of this blog for the time being. I am going to start posting my notes from my classes here as essentially a storage space for them. I recorded them via LiveScribe which is a pen that has an infra-red camera and a digital recorder so it records the audio of my teachers combined and synchronized with what ever I write on the page. I may or may not be adding future poker analysis. So if you are in my math classes enjoy, if you are not, you will probably not like this blog for the next year or so.

The End of an Era

Last week, the old man died. That's right, my treasured 1995 Buick Regal slipped its transmssion and sounded the death knell of an age of revolutionary driving. It was a solemn week for me replete with crying spells and yelling to the heavens "Why not me lord, WHY NOT ME???". But to no avail. He was junked to the salvage yard today.

But on a lighter note, I have a new car now. A 2004 Infinity G35. So far its pretty bomb ass nice. I still have to take it into my mechanic to have a the full work-over done, but as I can tell the engine, brakes, and mechanical details all seem to be in working order. There was a small imperfection in the body kit but I have convinced the used car dealer to fix that on his dime. I just have to go to his place in the valley to have it fixed so I have to make that trek this week.

Out with the old, and in with the new....

Finally Turned in All Three!

So finally turned in all my graduate applications :

1) Turned in USC application in December 2008. Status: Accepted!
2) Turned in UC Berkeley MFE application in March 2009. Status: Rejected...:(
3) Turned in UCLA MFE application in May 2009. Status: Pending...should know by July 31st at the latest.

As of right now, I have committed to USC but if I get into UCLA I will 80% choose to go there because the UCLA program is only one year long and $27K as opposed to the USC program which is 1.5 years + and upwards of $40K.

Drunk Philophical Offerings

I just wanted to say that I hold the world in contempt. Take that as you will.
