Last.fm and grad school
Mar. 20th, 2008 07:01 pmOne thing I didn't realize about last.fm before is that you can listen to your own radio station. ^^;;
Funnily enough, it only works when you're not logged in (when I log in I'm prompted to subscribe???). Some of the tracks are from rather obscure sources though, or live versions; I don't have anything in particular against live versions except that the announcers sometimes get a bit jarring. But it's a great way to listen to music when I run out of music to listen to at work. :)

meiyo_chan, I got your message~ Thank you! :3 And I'll listen to your recording when I get home~ ^^)
Lately I've been thinking of applying to grad school. Some friends of mine (whose undergraduate degree was in EE) are planning on applying to law school (at UW, or elsewhere), while others are studying there right now.
Personally, I'm not quite sure where I stand on it. I guess it comes down to what one can achieve with just a bachelor's degree or what one wants to do... though I doubt I'd be able to get into grad school that easily with my results (considering I haven't taken the SAT or GRE before either), and I'm not sure what exactly I want to study. I don't see myself having the patience to deal with law, and IS tends to be rather dry with not much real-world experience. That leaves CS which I'm not really sure I want to do (finite-state automata? language design? HCI??) for the next few years.
There's also the issue of attending full-time or part-time while continuing to work. If I go full-time, I'll need to make sure that I can get a scholarship as well as save for it, but in that case I'd be able to study whatever I wanted to. If I do it part-time while ocntinuing to work, my options are somewhat more limited (the courses have to be something that will help me in my work), but Microsoft will pay for a majority of the tuition.
Anyway, it's not something I'm worrying my head off about right now. :P
