Thanks JB, I'll pass along that information. He has mentioned that he wants to be a TA, and is hoping for the break on the tuition as well. He has a friend who is going to UNT, and they could room together, so I think he is secretly hoping he gets accepted there. I may have to move north tho, he'd be at the top of the state and I'm at the bottom. I love SA tho – argh, why can't we all just live in the same place!
What an accomplishment for you on your dissertation, I am duly impressed! I'm hoping for your success, but not really worried. I'm sure the dissertation was wonderful.
Maz, all I can say is that is quite a coincidence. I'm telling you, we must have the same alien DNA or something!
