Apparently my blog here was pegged as "spam worthy" and although I requested/tried to prove otherwise, it took 3 weeks for me to be re-granted my blogging privileges. Interestingly enough, after 3 weeks away I still have the urge to write, and oh do I have much to write about.
I made it through the end of senior design and, therefore, the end of my college career thus far. My parents, brother, grandmother, and girlfriend all came in for my graduation ceremonies; it was very nice to see them all, especially together, and it was special to see each of them in their own regards. My grandmother is the last of that generation left in my family so it meant a lot to me that she would take the time to travel just for me... my brother was more or less dragged into it, but I know deep down he was proud... my parents were happy for me and proud that I made it through the difficult major I chose and also feel it to be worth it down the road (as do I, so far)... my girlfriend has been my rock these past two years and so this commencement meant as much to her as it did me, at least in my eyes. I love her and am very happy she came in to see me walk and/or make a fool of myself.
I will miss a lot of the friends I made over the years, especially those I know I may never hear from again... but, there will always be more and I will always take my experiences along with me. I have a week before I start my new job, which I will spend unpacking/cleaning/sleeping/hanging out.
This past weekend we had our first couple races of the sailing season and I couldn't have been more thrilled to be out on the water again, finally! The weather was phenomenal, as is my sunburn... what can I say, except I am red hot! Tomorrow I will be attempting to win a national championship via an internet-based tactical sailing simulator I enjoy playing/learning from... wish me luck and who knows what could happen?
I am glad to have this back, as I am sure there will be plenty to write about in these next coming weeks...
