That’s right folks, I am going back to school. Full time school at that! I will be leaving Chase in middle of August, as my current position requires an abundant amount of traveling which I would not be able to handle with schooling. I will be pursuing my Masters in Statistics, the same degree that Jen P has, and will take me two years to complete. I will be required to get an internship in the summer of 2003 with a company somewhere. Hopefully, I can get on at TVA here in Knoxville, that would make it very convenient.

Last week was pretty hectic, as I was in Oklahoma City and Cincinnati. While in OKC I stopped by the memorial there for the bombing back in 1995. It was very moving, I would recommend that if you are in the area, to stop by. I was only able to go for about 20 minutes, but I am really glad that I did. I wish I had had a camera. Cincinnati was easy, the work part last for a good 4 hours and then I was out of there!

Howdy All, it has been a while since I have had a chance to update my website. I have been quite the busy body at work these past few weeks. Last week I was in Huntsville Alabama at NASA for a short 3 day project. Then on the 3rd, we had a bunch of limbs break off of our big maple trees and crash into the yard and house. So for the entire 4th, I did nothing but clean up the yard.

I did run the Fireball Classic 5k on the evening of the 3rd, it was still held despite the all of the weather activity that evening. On Sunday, I did the Tellico Triathlon which consisted of a 800m swim, a 17 mile bike, and a 3 mile run. I was very tired after the ordeal but was pleased with my time of 1:57:30. I didn’t win any awards but I was the first winner in the door prize category! YAY!

This coming up week, I will be in Oklahoma and I will be in Ohio, not at the same time of course, but I do have two projects going on.

Oh yeah, and the biggest news I have to share is that I am going to University of Tennessee in the fall to pursue another Masters degree… I will go further into detail at a later time.
