So. I’m sitting in class Friday evening, next to one of my project teammates, and she is filling out a Saint Thomas form, before the evening’s lecture starts. I recognize the form since I filled it out myself in early Sept. – It’s a declaration of your intention to graduate (she’s filling it out a […]
Grad Studies
Middle of my final semester at Saint Thomas
It’s now the middle of my final semester. Just six more class sessions to go, then the final exam – there is no mid-term exam. i was just looking at my “grade history”, and noticed two different and distinct patterns: It seems I always receive “A”s in my Fall semesters, and “B”s in my Spring […]
Miscellaneous thoughts
Such a nice day out there today, my favorite season is fall – the temp is “just right”. Too bad it only lasts 4-6 weeks here in MN. (Lol) I’ve got a few (good) stories to write about but I’m not doing it today. But, I’ll preview them for you: First one is about my […]
Excitement over school!
Excited. Blah, blah, blah. Last course (“I.T. Infrastructure”) at Saint Thomas starts this Friday evening – never had a Friday evening course before (it’s probably going to ruin my very exciting social life – ha ha). 14 weeks/class sessions, final exam, no mid term exam, not sure if there is a team project yet, but […]
U/Saint Thomas – Classes – Spring/2015 – part two
Had my first class session for both of my two evening courses this week: SW Architecture was on Monday, and Advanced web app development was tonight. Since I’m also taking a Saturday class (which is a required class), and not wanting to take 3 classes at a time, I must decide on which evening class […]
U/Saint Thomas – classes – Spring/2015 – part one

My evening class starts this coming week, and my Saturday class is starting two weeks from today. I had previously (in November) registered for “Software architecture” for Monday evenings, but today I hedged […]
UHG interview (via U/Saint Thomas)
Had a 45 minute Interview at U/ST, with a VP/Technology at UnitedHealthGroup (Optum div.) this morning. Very very smart gentleman – felt at ease with him and the majority of the time was able to directly answer his questions without any hemming/hawing. Only one question stumped me… I didn’t ask how many openings there were, […]
U/Saint Thomas – selected to interview with UHG!
Learned tonight after getting home from class that I am lucky enough to be one of ~10 interview candidates at UHG (United healthcare group) next week Thursday, due to my being in the U/Saint Thomas Graduate Program in Software (GPS). UHG apparently went to the U/ST MBA program first, but no one (or not enough […]
