Default I got accepted!

Hi,

I just had to share because I'm really excited. Sorry if it's in the wrong place.

I'm transferring to another university, and I just got my acceptance letter today!

I didn't really expect to have any problems, but it's still really great to have it on paper.

I'm going to tour the campus tomorrow, and hopefully meet with someone from the CS department. I also want to meet with the Delta Chi's soon because I was a member of that chapter at my previous university, and want to remain affiliated.

Anyway, I'm just really excited. Things are looking up.

Brandon

Thanks.

I'm not going into criminal justice; I'm going to major in computer science.

I'll be attending the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown.

Anyway, I went today to talk with an admissions councelor and to meet with the computer science department. I am really happy with that department; it seems better than the CS department at Duquesne. Instead of using C++ and Java to teach theories, data structures, etc, they use Ada. They said they stuck with it as other universities were shying away from it, but now it seems many universities are starting to teach Ada again.

They seem to have a lot of options as you get into the more advanced levels, where you can really pursue anything you want to.

They're going to see about where to place me though, whether or not I have to take the introductory course, since I've already taken a computer science course at Duquesne. I'm afraid of getting bored with that first course.

I'm going back tonight to meet with the Delta Chi's.

Dude, that is great. It's nice to hear good news. Computer science huh, just like a young Steve Pavlina. Maybe you can read his story about graduating in record time for inspiration.

The campus seems really nice. It is smaller than Duquesne, which I am happy about. The Delta chi house is pretty close to everything else, so it'll be a lot easier for me.

I'm blind so can't report on the look of the campus, but I hear it is beautiful.
