Washington University in St. Louis

So this is gonna be a random blog that with shift planes, so stick with me.

1. There is an opening for a Student Ambassador for Sun Microsystems at WashU. I have been in touch with some Professors and some sound interested.  If you are a student reading this, then apply here.  Really, if you are a Unix/Java/Sun guru and wish to be a part of the Sun experience please email me personally and I will refer you or just click and apply.

 2.  Second,  everyone goes through the whole college experience and let me partially describe mine. I got my Undergraduate degree in Computer Science at University of Missouri - Columbia, after transferring 5/6 times (yes thats a lot).  After graduation I decided my goal was to go to graduate school to get my Masters. I applied and against all odds (at least I thought the odds were against me) I got into my school of choice, WashU.  I got my Masters in Computer Graphics. I have gained a close relationship with the Professors there and wish to note them here. Prof. Grimm (taught me all about Graphics), Prof. Gill (ACE really does RULE), Prof. Crowley, and Prof. Tao (my Mentor along w/ Grimm).  If you are looking to go to school here I would highly suggest it. 

3. The main reason I chose this school is because of my family history, my Grandfather, Frank O. Shobe, went to undergraduate schooling here ('38), and also received his Doctorates ('42), and taught in the Department of Psychiatry.  Since he passed away ('84) there has been a yearly lectureship in the dept. which I hope to attend. Love you Grandpa!. RIP. Miss you.
