Tournament report

National Indoor Championships (regional): Double FITA I; 120 arrows at 18 meters

This was at the same venue as State indoors last month; I expected to be able to shoot somewhat better than that. I set my sights high, hoping for a 960. My first four ends, unfortunately, were miserable, as I still hadn't managed to find the right sight setting. I picked it up eventually, but the damage had been done and I ended the first day with only a 461. Second day started out strong, but I started falling apart at the end; nevertheless I managed a 479 for a total of 940. Not where I wanted to be, but an improvement.

Also, my arrow rest started chewing up fletching, so I've stolen one of the nicer rests from the range to replace it.

Next up: LA Indoor.

Oh, and

About time.

Dear Brian:

I regret to inform you that we are unable to admit you to the Ph.D. Program in Computer Science in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon. We received nearly 1250 applications this year. Our graduate programs can support only a limited number of new students. Unfortunately, we could admit only a fraction of the applicants, even though many more had strong qualifications.

We hope you have been accepted by another university of your choice and wish you the best in your career.

So, 0/1. But seriously, this is CMU. I was expecting nothing else. They get points for being faster than everyone else.
