grad school funding

Since I last posted, Thomas has been offered funding from BOTH the University of Kentucky and the University of Tennessee! Since these are his top two choices for his PhD, this is fantastically good news. It is going to be a difficult choice between the two, but I am glad to know we will have definitely somewhere to go next year. I'll be even happier when we know whether we're moving to Lexington or Knoxville. Thomas is actually in Knoxville right now; they paid for him to fly out for their visit day, and he has had a great time (which will actually make the decision harder, since Kentucky was previously his first choice, but they now seem to be neck-and-neck). I am so proud of him!

  3. Kentucky has a better basketball program, but Tennessee is usually better in football.

  4. The Tennessee football program is kinda up in the air though, after Kiffin's departure for USC and the recent hiring of an unproven replacement as head coach.
