<!-- Hi -->

So, it's official - I finally decided yesterday that I'm doing the MIT / WHOI Joint Program for graduate school. My advisor called in the morning, and I pretty much knew what the right answer was.

MIT didn't put on nearly as good a show as Carnegie Mellon - CMU actually made me feel like they wanted me there. MIT mainly left me feeling confused and frustrated. Nevertheless, I've wanted to be at WHOI since I was really young, and that hasn't changed - I don't think I could give up that opportunity. WHOI has a great community to balance MIT's insanity, and I'm hopeful that the MIT craziness is all transient. At steady state maybe I'll meet up with the many good people who I know are there. In June I'll be going on an orientation cruise on the Corwith Cramer, so I'm looking forward to that.

My political post of the day is about torture in the US; an interesting read. Also, if you haven't checked out the trailer for An Inconvenient Truth, you should.
