Yale Retakes the Lead
It’s been a good week. Emily got word yesterday that Yale is offering to pay her tuition for two years should we choose to move to New Haven. This is the third piece of good news in five business days…
Emily Grad School Update
I know it’s all out in the open and stuff, but I kind of liked the code system. So, at the risk of ridiculousness… ELGC-GS: 2/2 (?C, ?H, ?O, +P, +Y) No word on money yet. The postal service is…
