long time no chat

i was standing on the platform waiting for the train after work today and i came to this sudden realization that i hadn’t made a decent entry in ages. so much has been going on lately that it’s just insane.

work is good. incredibly busy, but i suppose at least i’m working on some exciting things. a few weeks ago i was in nyc checking some stuff out for our summer promotion. i was only there 24 hours but it was a trip nonetheless. i’m actually leaving for austin in a few hours for a few days. it’s acl weekend but logistics just didn’t work out for me to stay the whole weekend. it’s blane’s birthday tomorrow/today and at least i’ll be able to get back on friday to make up for missing tomorrow evening’s dinner.

one of the most exciting things just recently started … i started graduate school this week! i spent the last couple of months being incredibly nervous about it but now that it has started i’m feeling great about it. i’m working on my master’s in computer science and i’m thrilled. anything i already know has been self-taught so it’s a great opportunity to fill in all the missing pieces and put it to use. i’m already planning my first program that i can implement to help with something at work that i’ve been studying.

i’d love to stay and continue writing but i must get going and get myself packed for my journey to texas in the morning.
