I got an offer for a 1/6th time Research Assistantship in the Spring, working with Dr. Miller in the Computer Science Department and Dr. Kissinger in the Institute of Bioinformatics. According to the letter, recipients are selected through a competitive process, and assistantships are awarded only to the University’s most qualified individuals to aid them in their pursuit of study or research. Anyway, I accepted the offer. So, I’ll be on both a Teaching Assistantship and Research Assistantship in the Spring!

Since my last post, I’ve encountered three more classes: Software Engineering, Simulation and Modeling, and Directed Study. Okay, so Directed Study is pretty much an extension of the research I was doing over the summer. The other two classes will definitely be interesting. I took the undergraduate level of Software Engineering about two years ago. For all intents and purposes, it’s the same class. The only exception is that Graduate Students have to answer an additional question on tests. I already know the core material. The only interesting challenge will be forming a group for the group project. With respect to Simulation and Modeling, this class will definitely benefit my contributions to the ScalaTion Research Group.
The only thing that’s suspenseful is the fact that the assignment for my Teaching Assistantship hasn’t been assigned yet. I’m hoping that the Graduate Coordinator has the assignments in the next couple of days because I’m having to delay scheduling some of my research meetings until I know my full schedule. I’m sure it will all work out in the end.
As some of you may know, I’ve been accepted into the Computer Science Ph.D. program at the University of Georgia. Various orientations for the Graduate school begin next week, including: Department Orientation, Grad School Orientation, and Teaching Assistant Orientation. I plan on keeping you guys posted on any new developments.
