What's the translation?
So today I got a letter from Bank of America, regarding a credit card that I haven't used in 3 years... "We have learned that some credit card information on your Bank of America account may have been compromised at an undisclosed third-party location." Ummm... "An undisclosed third-party location" - for a card that has been sitting in my safe for the past 3 years (I just checked, and it is still there). I don't save credit card information online, and I'm not sure I've ever even used that card online. So there should have been no company that would have had access to any information about that card except for Bank of America. So does that mean that BoA released my credit card information to some third party organization that they weren't supposed to? It is a legitimate letter, and they sent me a replacement card. This just makes me ever more suspicious of Bank of America...
Unrelated - it's a royal pain to get transcripts released. I have to fill out two separate forms and send them to two separate registrars who apparently aren't capable of communicating with each other, despite being at the same school... One form to Thayer School for my B.E. transcript, one to Dartmouth College for my A.B. transcript. And of course, neither registrar has discovered the internet yet and both require request letters to be snail-mailed to them.
Anyways, in happier news: I'm thinking that it's a good sign when a potential grad school research professor writes to me saying "Please apply to our PhD program at your earliest convenience ... I encourage you to apply, and please, keep me informed."
Also - I need to eat dinner at more normal times. I think it's thrown my biological clock off that I just ate dinner at midnight, because that's when I actually got back to my apartment... (hooray clean clothes, though!)
Happy Halloween, everyone!
