      The program starts on September 16th, though everyone was instructed to move no later than August 1st to ensure housing. It looks like he is going to be paid two lump sums twice a year.

  16. In the past 30 hours, I've requested transcripts from 3 schools, updated my CV, written half of my SOP, requested LORs from 5 different contacts, heard back from 3, and worked a solid 18 hours. Time for a small rest.

  20. is disgusted by the lack of compassion being shown by people in her area. Viewers are calling and complaining that The Today Show isn't on and saying the tsunami warning (in our viewing area, by the way) is no big deal.

      That's just pathetic. The footage looks completely terrifying. It puts things into perspective for all of us. I'm waiting to hear back from two friends over there.
