Paging Dr. Boe

Okay, so I will probably never hear that line in a serious situation. Nonetheless I’m excited because this morning I received a letter which starts:

Dear Mr. Boe,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to the Ph.D. program in Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) — with five years of full financial support. We reserve this prestigious offer for our top candidates only. We are very impressed with your qualifications and are confident that you will do very well in our program. Furthermore, we believe that our faculty’s research interests are a perfect match with your own. We hope that you will find our program exciting and your study at UCSB intellectually rewarding.

Oh, I’m glad I love Santa Barbara because I’m going to be here five more years. :)
