In Education, Work

Day 902 of 1000

Christian went to the job fair to look for a summer internship.  He walked away with a lot of free stuff–a Microsoft t-shirt, a pen and a memory stick from Sharp, and a water bottle!

Kelly, on the other hand, went to the job fair to work for her employer, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.  They not only paid her but gave her the free promotional stuff given to them by NCSU–An NCSU clipboard with NCSU logo note paper, an NCSU thermal coffee cup, and an NCSU leather portfolio!

100 days until commencement

In Education

Day 892 of 1000

We are now only 100 days away from commencement for Kelly’s and Christian’s graduation.  Both of the kids have signed up for graduation.  All they have to do is pass their current courses and they are done.  The crazy thing is we do not yet know what will happen next.  The one thing that has been confirmed is Kelly’s return to the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory for a second summer internship.  Everything else is speculative.  We want to sell the house to move back out West, but who know how that will go.  We are pretty sure Christian will get a PhD offer somewhere out West.  We are not pretty sure Kelly will get a PhD school offer because she is aiming at a degree that usually requires years of work experience.  Still, it is great to be so close to a long term goal.
