I'm beginning to think there's some sort of mysterious magnetic force around the University of Washington, such that it pulls people northward from California.

I'm applying there, my school chum jimtrout is applying there, and today I got an email from one of my freshmen asking if could work with him on his personal statement because he wants to transfer there.

So, all you UW-ians, if you see a gaggle of San Jose State folks up there next fall, blame the water. Or something.
