paperclippyNote to self: fellowship apps. NSF is due first, then NDSEG.
Anyway, the point of this entry: http://www.eecs.cwru.edu/centers_and_groups
Dude. Case Western has (1) a Neuromechanics group, (2) a BioRobotics lab, and (3) a Dynamics of Adaptive Behavior research group (AKA BioRobotics for CS majors instead of engineers).
Can I write to them and say "YOU ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO PLEASE LET ME IN PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE"? I'll be like, really, if you let me in then as soon as I get there I'll take electrical engineering and mechanical engineering to make up for not having taken that sort of stuff before . . . :P Maybe I should have been an engineer after all! I'm more convinced that I want to go to grad school when I get really excited looking at this stuff.
In other news, I have two people to write recs for me now, and hopefully I will soon have a third. I also have one sort-of. Speaking of which, I need to contact the grad student I worked with over the summer.
Right now my biggest concern about grad schools: what if once I get there, I freeze to death as soon as it gets to be winter? :P I'm such a cold wuss.

Since it won't be in So Cal, I'm guessing the buildings will be at least a little more sensibly organized, to minimize travel outside. Although I suppose with any large campus, you have to have a lot of buildings with large distances between some buildings. But hey, then you'll have the excuse to drive that distance ; )

Most colleges weren't planned, they grew with little to no emphasis on good design, particularly for small-scale features like minimizing the distances people might have to walk in the snow. This case may be an exception, but that's something you'd want to check.
