Sorry, but I need to brag (just a little) :)

So yesterday I got my acceptance letter to the college of engineering at Northeastern University (Boston, Ma.). It's a really sweet school with an awesome co-op program. By the time a student gets their B.S., they will have had 18 months of real workplace experience. The list of companies that I can do my co-op with is huuuuuuuggggeeee and extends itself globally. Not to mention they have many accelerated BS/MS programs.

I still waiting for a response from Boston University, but I think I have my mind made up on NE. NE offers less majors...but so what, I only need the ones that interest me (Mech E and Physics).

Well that is all. I never get excited about anything, so I figured I would share this rare moment with the folks who helped make it happen.

Thanks PF, you rock!
