Recap!
So syrian_sun said to me that it seemed like the last time I updated my livejournal it was about grape juice or something, and that she had no idea about what was really going on with my life. So I figure that in the spirit of a recap, I'll try to fill some of you in on what's going on with my life.
I graduated college, BA in Mathematics and another one in Computer Science. It's strange to know that an ungodly amount of money spent on my education is represented in a cheap laminated wallet-version of my diploma.
The Monday after graduation, I started my first "real" job at a chemical software company. That is, a company that makes software for chemical companies. I program in VB6 (woooo!) and I do a lot with Microsoft Access. Eventually I'm going to do training on our software, in addition to my current support and customization duties. When I start doing more training, I get to go on business trips, with an expense account and everything! I like what I do, and the people are really nice here. It's a small company, and I'm working in the smaller department. It's cool.
Since my job is so close, and since another Math/CS grad got a job in the same area, we went together and signed a lease on an apartment in Madison! With real keys and everything! If you want to visit or crash on my floor, I have two queen sized air mattresses, so just drop me a line and you're more than welcome.
I also got an NJ drivers license, and NJ plates for my car. Next up: having my car inspected!
Nowadays I'm trying to teach myself C# and playing more video games, since I now have more time.
Maybe now that I got this out of the way I'll actually try to do a semi-ish regular update, but I'll probably forget and just leave comments in other people's lj entries.
