Bowling Win!

We won all three games of bowling this week. Of course the team we bowled against weren't around so we just had to beat our averages. I did very well this time and got a 154 one game. Giving me the highest game for the night!

I also discovered that we get free popcorn on league bowling nights!

Stanford-NVIDIA

Well I got some good news today. I made it into the Stanford EE MS/PhD program! Part I of the hard part is over. I haven't received any information on Financial aid as of yet so we'll see if I can actually afford to GO to Stanford.

At least here I will have some sort of financial support to allow me to continue school. On top of that I need to decide EE vs. CS if I decide to stay at Wisconsin. Decisions, Decisions.

My other good news is I managed to interview well and will be able to spend the summer in the bay area working on ASICs at NVIDIA! I've been hoping to work for a graphics card manufacturer since I started university and now I have my chance. YEAH!

Bowling

Well we found out once again that we lost at bowling last week. The problem is we were UP by 100+ pins on all 3 games. Apparently the other team pre-bowled (what the hell is this?) and scored some of the best games of their lives. So once again we lose because of some strange scoring technicality that wasn't in the rules (that we saw).

This last week we did manage to win 2 of the games but we have no idea if we "really" one them as they had a sub and an absent bowler. Once again they may magically make up a 200 pin deficit for the win once all the magic pin counting is done. (We also lost one game in which two of us really sucked I got like 79 and the other guy got 84).
