Damn. It’s been 4 years, already.
University of Southern California, Class of 2010.

Even though I vowed to make this blog not about my personal life, but something greater as Joel Spolsky once described, forgive me for just one day. Tomorrow is my college graduation.

4 years ago, one kid from a small town in Maryland arrived at USC as a pre-med concentration. After two changes in major, and one failed attempt at dropping out, the kid fell in love with technology, web, and video game production. I know it sounds as if the kid just turned into a geek over the past 4 years, but no, he found out what he wanted to do with his life.

Tomorrow marks the first day of the second phase in his life. Audentes Fortuna Iuvat. Wish me luck.

So I’ve been going to sleep at 5am and waking up at 2pm for the past couple months due to this evil thing called SCHOOL.

For those of you who know me enough, that IS pretty normal for me, as one of my best friends, Jon, refers to me as the Vampire Lord.

In an effort to getting my sleep schedule back to normal, I tried going to sleep early for the first time in 5 months. I got myself ready at 1am, put my ear plugs on, and closed my eyes at 1:17am.

And guess what? My attempts to fix my sleep schedule have backfired. I woke up at 4:20 am and am still wide awake right now as I write this post. My body must have thought I was taking a quick nap. Ah. stupid brain waves.

Please, let me sleep.

Senior Gift

Dear Andrew:

So, as of today, I finished my last final exam of the semester. My winter break officially began as of 6pm.

And, I get this email from USC asking me about senior gift.

What am I gonna leave behind? Well, as much as I want to get the hell out of here, I’ve decided to stick around for one more year to get my M.A. in Economics.

So, Don’t get too excited ’cause I’ll be BACK…for one more round.

Just reviewing stuff from ITP499 from Spring 2009. I’ll be TAing for the same class next semester. YAY!

Conclusion: F**king listen to your customer.

Damn. FINALLY.

My last week of school is here. It went by quick.

Looking forward to Spring 2010, TAing for ITP499.
