USC Day
I accepted my offer to USC today.
I went to USC today to meet with my advisor Prof. Andrew Howard. A twist for me, he is relatively new to advising students - unlike my MS advisors (Prof Garrett is the assoc dean for CIT and has a horde of grad students, as does Prof Whitaker - err Red). He's concerned about my part time status, but I think I've got him convinced I can do this. We're currently looking for a small, get my hands dirty again in robotics, project that I can start in the short term (like in the next few weeks).
The USC campus is beautiful (although don't go too far off campus without a 9mm or M-16 and a flak jacket). Green spaces, beautiful architecture, fairly good resources for the places I saw.
For all you really old CMU dogs - I walked past the USC UCC. Yes, USC still has a University Computing Center - and they call it the UCC! Not Cyert!
Oddity of the campus: the registar and cashier offices are on OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE CAMPUS. Really, does that make any sense? It does make for a good walking tour. Hopefully I don't have to do that walking tour too often.
