Hopefully something good will happen this week--fingers crossed for that interview!

On the ceiling front, the maintenance people are going to come out and look at it today. (We just got a call.) The good news is that the ceiling mostly consists of those horrible institutional ceiling tiles, and it was a relatively small area, so it shouldn't be too bad. (It also looks like the people upstairs flooded their bathroom or something...)

I'm trying to look on the bright side about the grad school thing. Program-wise, the school that's interviewing me is a better fit, I think. The program that hasn't said anything (but I can guess) is also largely Chinese students, which tends to be something of a red flag. (On top of that, the lab I did my senior project in was entirely Chinese except for the one Korean guy. The post-doc, the professor, and the undergrads were the only native English speakers in it. It was...interesting. I'm not sure I could take four years of that.) That guaranteed stipend and insurance would have been nice, though. :|
