Graduation Day, Part 2 And Beyond

It feels really great to now be considered an alumnus of Virginia Tech. I feel like I really have had the time of my life the last five years, so thanks go out to everyone who made my time here unique and worth it. I can't and won't be able to say anything that won't sound trite, but other than it not really completely sinking in yet, I feel honored and rewarded that all the work of the past few years has paid off.

Now, it's time to start a new chapter. Over the next few days, I'll be in Albuquerque doing some things to allow me to start work at my new job. The timeframe for this, since a lot of people have been asking me, is still pretty vague. After this trip, though, I should know more; and as far as I know, upon completion of this trip, I should be eligible to start work about 60 days later. For sanity's sake, we'll say mid-August as a rough start date. That means that this summer is quite the transition period for me, and beyond that, I have very little idea what the future holds. It's an exciting and scary prospect.

In the short term, I'm not sure if I'll be able to post whilst in Albuquerque, but I'll try. Failing that, I'll be back late Wednesday night before taking my first trip back home to WV. Be looking out for me, and most of all, enjoy yourselves!
