Nearly two years ago, I moved to San Francisco to study at the University of San Francisco. This morning I took my last exam. I’ll soon be a Master of Science in Internet Engineering.

It’s a very strange feeling. I’ve been in school for most of the last 19 years of my life, and I can’t say how relieved I feel to be done. It’s not that I didn’t think school has been worthwhile, it’s just a great feeling to suddenly have one fewer responsibility.

I’m sure you’re now asking “what’s next?” (hi, mom).

What’s next is taking some time off. Some friends and I have a ski house in South Lake Tahoe for the season and I plan on spending pretty much all of January there. I’ll be around SF, too, but I won’t be working much (if at all).

We’re actually heading up to the house this weekend, too, and I’m skipping my own graduation to go skiing (please don’t say that I should sit through a boring 3 hour ceremony instead of skiing, seriously).

I have a bunch of projects I want to work on. Many of them programming related, others more creative and corporeal. I look forward to just getting to work on whatever I feel like for awhile.
