Perhaps you should define what you mean by low weight and high rates.
For example, I recently got information from several companies on
about how much a specific move (the one I'm doing) would cost for
a bunch of different weights.  However, I have no idea if they are
high or low for you.

The companies also seem to have some flexibility in what they charge
for.  For example, based on the estimates I got on the phone, my move
should cost around $3000 dollars, since I have a lot of weight.

However, when I had someone from Bekins come out to give me a written
estimate, he said something about using a rate that was based on volume
rather than weight, because most of the weight I have is books, which
are fairly dense.  The written offer from Bekins was something like
$1300 or so.  This compares quite well with doing it myself, since
a one-way Ryder rental for my move is around $1100.

You might want to ask companies about this sort of thing, if you are
getting your rate information over the phone, or have them actually
come out and give you an estimate.  Most companies are willing to send
someone for free to give you an estimate after looking over your stuff.

No, I think I'd be very comfortable flipping back to my "Sexuality Today
a Human Perspective" and "Confronting Crime" books in the future.  I guess
I should have mentioned that I'm busy taking classes I want to take; I don't
need them for any sort of graduation requirements (I'm in Elec. Eng. Comp.
Sci. here at "hokey-ass" UC Berkeley [now, if you were from that even more
hokey-assed "L... S... Junior University", I'd be really upset at this point,
but that's a Cal thing.]  Also, I don't have to worry about my advisors
telling me what I can't take or the school telling me that whatever class is
impacted and that I can't take it or that I'm not in the major or <blah blah
blah blah>.  And, if I want an internship, it would make the most sense for
me (esp financially) to take a semester off to do it.

>atmosphere more relaxed, my fanny. you try cramming fourteen
>weeks into six and being "relaxed". :-)

I am!  ("IMHO" is the key term, I guess.)  I suppose the other thing is that
I care more about what I learn or open my mind to, rather than what kind of
grade I get.  [I guess I'll pay for that later!]

>sorry for the vehemence - calc a la speed course is NOT my idea
>of a "enjoyable" summer pursuit.

That I agree on, but I guess from the viewpoint "calc is the only subject
you have to worry about" then I'd rather take it during the summer than when
I'm swamped with 3 or 4 other classes.

I don't know about the rest of ya'll, but I enjoy summer. It's the regular
sessios that I hate.  Yea, 15 weeks in 5 does get a little rough, but
1) you only have one or two classes (here) and 2) you're in the same
class everyday so it is harder to forget stuff or procrastinate.

As far as jobs are concerned, I have it fairly easy in that I work for
the school in the Technology dept's computer labs.  I get to pick my
own schedual so I usually have the weekends off and nights that things 
are happening.  This job has helped me earn the trust of the dept
so I now have grad priv (read my own key and I can stay after hours :-)

I am currently applying to graduate schools (in computer science),

appropriate way to contact faculty at different institutions
to learn about their specific areas of research, and to
let them know about your interests and intentions for
graduate school research.  Is it appropriate to write
directly to the head of a department, for instance?
Would faculty in a graduate department be interested in
a paper written by an applicant for study at their institution,
or is that only solicited after a student is accepted there?
Essentially, how can an applicant bring themselves to the
attention of the faculty and get a foot in the door on
current research projects, without giving the faculty 
too much unwanted solicitation?

Thank you for any advice.

I'm just a first year graduate students, so I'm definitely not an
expert on this.  But from my experience and from friends the general
answer to your question is 'it depends'.  GRE exams are seriously considered
but your GPA, research experience (if any) and outside activities are
also considered (of course depending on the institution -- some want
well rounded individuals while others go just on grades).  
	For an engineering program, a GRE score of about 2100 is good
(out of 2400 -- 800 math, 800 verbal, 800 logic) where the majority
of the score comes from the math and analytical/logic sections.
Breaking it down, a person who has an engineering background should
score reasonably about 750 or so, and logic above 700.  These are
ball park figures, so they are not written in stone.  Also a reasonable
verbal score (about 600) is okay --- so that it appears your verbal
skills are adequate.
	I am a chemical engineer, so I really had a choice between
chemistry or the engineering subject test.  Since I didn't want to
put any effort to study for this exam, I chose the engineering test.
I really had the background for a few sections (thermo, fluids, math)
and knew absolutely nothing (or remmbered little) on things I
consider to be more in the CE or ME sort of field.  And when I took
my exam I couldn't see how an ChE or EE could do well.  But most
programs realize this and as long as you fall above 50% I wouldn't worry.
	Many programs I found asked for the GRE general and subject,
but really only looked at the general.  (I can say I did miserably
on the GRE engineering test.)  So my advice to you is to pick one
and if you think you are lacking a little in the subject, review a bit.
You may also wish to call up the program you are considering applying 
to and see if a) they require the subject test and b) which they 
recommend.  If none require the exam, don't bother and save the $35.
Grad school application process can be quite expensive
	I hope this helped.
