First, the first Fantasy Football win of 2007. The White Russians had the Superbowl jinx on them a bit. After having bombed miserably in the championship game last year, they opened the season with the lowest number of points. Week two showed more promise with the second highest score in the League. It is doubtful the Russians will be able to keep it up this year, but only time will tell.
Monday, I took the GRE for the second time. I prepared a lot for it, but even I was surprised with the results. I got a 680 Verbal and an 800 Quantitative (at least those were the scores on the screen, they can change, but it is doubtful).
Today, the contract was officially signed for a project at work. I have actually gotten a slap on the wrist for talking about work stuff on SteveRogers.info. If you have talked to me about work in the past 6 months or so…you should know what project I am talking about. It is going to be tough, but it is my “campaign” baby.
Otherwise, life is a little busy. I am still sort of recovering from the GRE goodness. Should be doing reading, but when isn’t that the case. I am taking one class this semester, Interest Groups. It is with a professor I have never had, but I like his class style. The readings for the few weeks are not my favorite, but I need a little diversity.
I am also working on my thesis. It is a counter-factual exercise regarding the Seventeenth Amendment. I am going to recreate every US Senate as if the Seventeenth Amendment did not exist. I had a thesis meeting today, and I am pretty much on track…just have to buckle down and do the work. My advisor (and her husband, also a professor) are being very helpful in school selection. If anyone out there is applying to grad schools, talk to professors…they know the inside baseball of this stuff so well…I have no idea how you would figure this stuff out otherwise other than guessing from web sites and short bios/CVs.
Well, I have procrastinated enough. I should read for a bit, but likely won’t. Sorry for the lack of updates internet world. But trust me, my world wasn’t that interesting. However, soon I may provide you with some very random, but interesting, articles from the state legislative world.
