Back to School
On my daily bike ride to work, I ride by a highschool - well, the school’s back in session again, with the courtyard full of kids (hey, I think I’m old enough to say “Kids” 
) and the road full of cars. I remember the school closing for the summer with the “Congratulations to Grads” sign posted out front… it’s amazing how quickly the time goes. Exactly a year ago today, I started working at Altera. 2 years ago… I think we crossed into New Brunswick from Maine during the North American Solar Car Tour.
My 24th birthday was pretty uneventful (though it was fun!), unlike the 23rd birthday when I drove into Santa Cruz for the first time after a 3 day long drive from Oklahoma City, looking for a place to live. For the 22nd, I was in Upstate New York with my face covered in chocolate cake, and I was running around inflicting the most damage I could with what was left of the chocolate cake. I clearly remember a steady drizzle through out the day (remnants of Hurricane Francis, if my memory serves right) and we travelled maybe a mile or two that day with the solar car. I think I owe Cam an apology for stuffing a handful of cake down his pants.
Anyway, enough reminiscing - time to look forward to see what the future has in store for me. Before I go, here’s a view from my bed at 3:30AM.
