Day 630 of 1000
Yesterday, Kelly went to her first graduate school interview at SDSU. It went great. She talked to two professors, (one Math, one Statistics) and had a great time. The Statistics professor thought she would do great in their program. The thing that both she and Christian noticed when she was on campus is what a gift it is to be Math and Statistics students at NCSU. The quality of the facilities and faculty at NCSU are absolutely first tier. I think the faculty count at NCSU is higher, too. Maybe that has something to do with the supportiveness of SAS toward NCSU. One of the main reasons Kelly and Christian are at NCSU is that is the closest major research university to our house. Still, that we stumbled into something by accident does not diminish the experience one whit.
First tier fellowship in the San Diego area too, which I’m sure is high on the priority list as well. Highly recommend it, having been nurtured and inspired there after (I dropped out of) college. :-/ 🙂
We have a common experience with respect to San Diego. Among so many others, Donna, Kim, Dick and Patty, Lila and many others stand out. I LOVE San Diego for our friends and their gift of friendship to me in the troubled times of my youth. I am so glad the Rizos family is playing that same exemplary role for our family. Count me grateful.
