Well, after spending an entire day stuck in Detroit, eating some fancy food, talking to some British people, fixing a completely fubar’ed Shell function and demonstrating my complete ineptitude for algorithms, I am now officially working for the Microsoft Windows Core Serviceability team, specifically in the networking group. I’m definitely looking forward to the following:

• Spending the summer in Seattle
• Hax0ring the g1bs0n
• Making some money so I can do the whole “Stay in school” thing
• Perhaps visiting some other west coast places, like Vancouver and Portland
• Having other people visit me, that’d be real awesome

That week is gonna be hella busy though, basically how it’s going down is that I’ll be leaving the day after I’m done with finals / grad parties / saying goodbye to everyone leaving for other places, I quick move out of the 1611 and I’ll be spending a week in California with the family. After that, I get on a plane and head to Seattle; 3 days later I’m working. I get back September 16th, and I move all my stuff straight back into my place for Fall quarter. Craziness.

Man, now that I think about it, by the time I get back everyone I know will be gone except for Newberry and Kevin. That’s kind of real lame. I feel as if no one knows what will happen after we graduate, as if after June no one exists anymore; like it’s this big blackness of eternity. That’s mostly not true, but the fact is there are people that I’ll never see again ever, and that makes me sad. But as Calvin says, “It’s a magical world, Hobbes, ol’ buddy … Let’s go exploring!”
