As of yesterday, I have officially applied for UTC’s Computational Engineering Program, as a Ph.D. student.

It’s funny how things work out. This is so different from what I was trying to do last year, but in many ways it’s a better fit for me. I’ve had several conversations with faculty in the department, and it feels like it’s meant to be.

The obligatory theological twist: I feel like God has led us here to Chattanooga, and it may be that this program is the reason why. Regardless of how this works out, I know His will is perfect, and His plan is in full effect. So, I cannot lose!

The obligatory musical twist: My goal for a while now has been to do a Starfinger album. I’m dedicating the next 6 months or so to completing that, before my potential schooling starts. I have a concept that I’m very excited about, but I am going to try to wait until the whole thing is finished before I make it public. On the other hand, I will also probably try to solicit some help from my various songfighting cohorts. So a lot of my loyal readers will probably be in the know sooner rather than later.

Word up!

It is an exciting time!
