[sdiy] BSEM

[Jim Johnson]

I _almost_ went to BSEM. 
I was an undergrad studying electrical engineering, I had it in my head to
go there for graduate work. All through my first three years I was planning
that, reading their catalogs, etc... then one day early in my senior year,
I gave them a call. 

"Hello"? 
"Is this the Boston School of Electronic Music?"
"Umm, yes.. that is, this is the right number, but we're no longer in
business..."
"Oh".

So I got a job in the semiconductor industry, which lead to 8 years of
depression.. but that's all water way under the bridge.
