Paging Dr. Boe
Okay, so I will probably never hear that line in a serious situation. Nonetheless I’m excited because this morning I received a letter which starts:
Dear Mr. Boe,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to the Ph.D. program in Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) — with five years of full financial support. We reserve this prestigious offer for our top candidates only. We are very impressed with your qualifications and are confident that you will do very well in our program. Furthermore, we believe that our faculty’s research interests are a perfect match with your own. We hope that you will find our program exciting and your study at UCSB intellectually rewarding. Congratulations on this accomplishment; consider it the next step in a lifetime of achievements!
Oh, I’m glad I love Santa Barbara because I’m going to be here five more years.

Dr. Boe,
This is a Serious Situation in which I refer to you as Dr. Boe. I am practicing now for when the day comes. My crystal ball is proved to be accurate once again. I will take full credit for Knowing From The Start that you were destined for the title of “Dr. Boe” or “Bryce Boe Ph.D. *patting self on back* Congratulations! You deserve this. Now, go ahead and pat yourself on the back for me.

Thanks for the congratulations everyone, and all the support I’ve had thus far. The end is no where in sight, but progress continues to be made.
My advisor/professor wrote:
“Dr. Boe, it does sound pretty good huh? Just think, if you do well and go for an academic job, you can be Professor Boe! How would that sound?”
To which I replied:
“Oh, that does sound good. However, I think I’ll concentrate on the Dr. Boe part first
