emilia,
well i registered for the gsi orientation this morning then got the hell,
out of there, before i walked in to register, the union reps grabbed me,
but i got away from him eventually, i left thru the backdoor to avoid
everyone; this orientation is required for ce gsi's, so i at least
registered, was going to be very boring;
i tried calling u last night at nine, u must have been sleeping, aww, i
miss u sleeping so sweet next to me, and waking up with u, og how i miss
that;
yes, im wondering waht supplies i will be needing for this upcoming
semester, i have one notebook, which i will use for my polski class, and i
have engineering paper for the other classes, i guess i will need folders
or 3-ring binders to hold those papers for those 3 classes, but taking
notes on engineering paper i think is the way to go;
free body diagrams is ALWAYS the best way to assess a problem... hehe, dont
u think that he was making fun of john when he was talking in that manner,
sespecially since john is a dumbass, and his wife was just canned.
did u find work for today??
apparently there is some sort of "boot camp" or review course for
environmental engineering students in this computer lab. i hope i dont have
to leave.
i miss u
i love u
jeffrey
ps, i miss u

in the town where i was born lived a man who sailed the sea
emilia, my love,
i see that u quoted john lennon in ure post script from "dear yoko" -- even
if its just one day, i miss u wehn ure away,, even if its just one night, i
miss u and it dont feel right;
and u never did tell me waht cd u bought ureself the other day... i
wonder...
and i wanted to ask u where the quotes on ure lovely and sweet card u sent
me are from? i love all the photos u sent me, my personal favorite is of u
on the beach; i like us in front og the "greek ruins of san francisco"
where we got a tour group to stop and take a phot of us -- u look so cute --
i love u, and of us at the foot of lombard - the crookedest street - u
look so hot in that photo, the look on ure face -- u are so beautiful, i am
amazed by u;
i miss u
yes, my sched isnt too bad, and i dont think i am allowed to gsi this
semester anyway, he did say i can take a fifth course this semester if i
wanted to finish the masters in two semesters, so i will see waht else is
out there, that fits my schedule, but that may be too much, waht do u think
honey? i love you. i listen.
love,
jeffrey
ps, me you make love

Fellowship Essay for Graduate Study at Berkeley
I am the third child of a middle-class family from the suburbs of Buffalo. My parents have worked hard to give me and my brother and sisters the finest in life — a Bachelor’s degree from a respected university. Both my parents received Masters’ degrees in their respected fields — Education and Criminal Justice. From my early days I have had a great interest in civil infrastructure. I remember my days at the beach with my older brother. He would be building a large sand castle with several turrets, and I would be paving roads and installing a highway system with my hands in the sand. My brother is now an architect, working for Michael Graves at the Princeton campus. I am a soon-to-be civil engineer working towards a hopeful Master’s of Engineering degree from the finest engineering institution in the land — Berkeley. The more things change, the more they stay the same…
Statement of Purpose for Graduate Study at Berkeley
I want to build dams. I want to study the site – the soil conditions and strength. I want to figure and design for the size of the foundation necessary for the dam. I want to design the structure that will hold back hundreds and thousands of acre-ft of water supply, a structure that will generate hours of renewable energy and form a large aquatic habitat for several species. I would also like to study dams that may need to be removed. Dams have destroyed habitats down stream of the structures, and the benefits of removing a dam may outweigh preserving or rehabilitating an older dam. Building and engineering large projects such as the many dams of California is a complex issue. There are several costs that need to be analyzed. Dams provide so much to communities, but dams may also ruin some too.
I would like to further my education in civil engineering so I will be able (and feel comfortable) to make decisions that effect so many people and species. In the case of dams, further knowledge in the fields of hydraulic, geotechnical, environmental, and structural engineering are essential. Ethics, law, and policy are quintessential in assessing and deciding on an issue. Continuing my education at the University of California – Berkeley and its fine engineering program is a step in that direction.
I am looking towards a long career in engineering and the benefits if the Masters of Engineering degree will provide me with the skills, knowledge, and suave to serve the community as a responsible engineer. My purpose in applying for graduate study at Berkeley is to finish what I have started here in Undergraduate College at Syracuse University – to become a civil engineer.
