Many apologies

Many new changes, mostly that I got rid of comments for now due to spam and the fact that I am getting way more traffic than I should be. I think this is due to the comment spam bots, so hopefully that will go away.

I've upgraded to movabletype 3.1, the free one. If I like how it works and want to do more, I'll probably get the real thing. So far, so good.

On the academic front things are going very well. I will graduate 21 May 2005, cum laude, with a B.S. in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Right now I am in the process of applying to The George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management (GSPM), which is my first choice for graduate school. Second choice is the public policy program at the Hubert H. Humphrey School at the University of Minnesota. If I am accepted at GWU, I'd start as soon as the end of May, right after graduation.

Right now I'm trying to finish up my internship paper (long overdue), polish my resume, finish my statement of purpose, and work on my capstone thesis. This is in addition to the stats class that I don't need to take, and the book report and term paper that I have to do for my public opinion class.

I'm also trying to download the fantastic episode of Real Time with Bill Maher from this weekend. Usually I find Robin Williams to be a little too much, but he was really on. It is hard to show up Bill Maher, but Williams dominated the show. I would get HBO just to watch that show. Well, that and Ali G, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Deadwood, Oz, Six Feet Under, Entourage, and Mr. Show.
