Ya me!

So I just received an email from the director of graduate admissions at Cornell. They've decided to award me a NASA Space Grant instead of a teaching position for my first year. Though I would like to teach at some point while I'm a grad student, this will allow me to focus on my classes and get readjusted to crazy grad school life after my relaxing year in Germany. I also get more money, which is also nice.
What a good way to start the day. :-)
