Something new for me
Jeremy Osner
>The letter came yesterday, informing me I've been accepted to the Master's Degree program at Columbia University School of Engineering. So for the next couple of years I'm going to be working during the day time, studying computer science at night. Hope I still can find some time for wood!
I'm sure you'll

You should be proud and excited, I am very happy to read of your news.
Take care,
Jim
Congratulations!
Clay C in Miami
>Congrats! - An ex-gf of mine is just finishing her Ph.D. at Columbia and by the end of May, she's moving out of a pretty nice/reasonable $ apartment (for NYC - for anywhere else of course it's laughable) in Greystone (at 91st and Columbus, IIRC). I know this apartment was rent-subsidized for her as a Columbia grad student, but don't know otherwise how that all works - Her name's Laurie Rice, email me if you want her contact info.

Dave Anderson Chester, NH
>Congratulations Jeremy. Looks like it'll be a full schedule. My best to you, Ellen, and Sylvia.
Re: Congratulations!
Jeremy Osner
>Cool Clay, and thanks mucho for the offer -- I live in NJ within commuting distance of the city (where I work) and am not moving.
Re: Congratulations!
Clay C in Miami
>Nice - I was afraid you were gonna suffer the same sort of sticker shock that she did on arriving from Miami Beach and hunting for housing. Compared to the rents, $6 daily toll for a NJ round trip seems picayune!
Enjoy yourself (when you can),
Clay

>Wax all the tools up you'll have no free time but a degree from Columbia would be worth it.

Bill Houghton, Sebastopol, CA
>It's hard work, Jeremy - I struggled through getting my degree (BA) working full-time, raising two kids, and working what felt like full-time again on an old house and clapped-out cars. "Study hour" started about 9:00, when the kiddies were finally in bed - but it's worth it.

Great!

>I applied there in 1972, and they showed me the door real fast.
Are you an I.T. person now?
Re: Great!
Jeremy Osner
>Yep, I've been a programmer ever since I started my B.S. (Brooklyn College) in '93. (I took classes for my undergraduate at night too; but that was easier than I am picturing the Master's being, plus I had not kid.)
