Oh, I'm sure it's great and I'm sure you will do well.

Pretty surprised that you didn't get in anywhere you wanted. You seem pretty shmarty. Even for a physics geek.

400 years since birth, 135 years since we cut the umbilical.

Mind telling me how we've depended on Britain since 1867 (and not the other way 'round, which is how it seems to me from here)?

I'm checking out then UT physics website now. They seem pretty strong in solid state stuff.... Even have a picture of crystal structure as the icon for research groups...maybe we can pull you into the caveman's* field anyway.

*Remark by our NU Nobel hopeful, Brian Hoffman, regarding solid state: "That's just a bunch of caveman pounding on rocks..."

No KH, that was 400 years since conception. You were still firmly on the umbilical cord until 135 years ago

looks like an interesting guy. As long as he is not a ****.


GP's first piece of advice to shmarty, young grad students. Non-**** advisor much more important than cool projects. (Oh...and they all try to claok their dickishness during "rush". Caveat Emptor...

Oh, btw, that CAP medal looks outstanding! U of C is a neat place. Don't know much about Stanford. Good campus (been rollerblading there) and of course the acclerator.
