Looks like I’ll be having a phone interview with NASA Ames about a research-based internship there this summer. This was more along the lines of what I was looking for and it would be great to stay somewhere way away from home for awhile, especially out west. This could be the big break.
I think I’ve discovered where the insane tuition increases have been going. Today I stopped by the coaches’ office where someone was installing a new computer. The “old” one was no more than two years old to begin with (Pentium 4) and they didn’t use it for anything more than word processing and web browsing. Now it’s a brand-spanking-new Core 2 with a big LCD that fills up most of the desk. Oddly enough, it’s running XP pro, not Vista. I know in the CS department there was a huge round of upgrades last semester where we all got 20 inch LCDs. Personally, I would rather the tuition be a few thousand less than have a few more inches on my desktop.
