| 5 months later, an update:
I'm living in Mountain View, CA;
I work for Fakespace Labs as a mech engineer, mostly building fixtures, housings, and doing form design for V.R. related gear;
I can machine basic 3D shapes on a CNC;
Living alone, even though my pad is cool, sucks;
Evangeline Lilly, the chick that plays Kate on "Lost", is way hot.
Pretty sad when what i've been doing since starting work, can be summed up in a small list. werd.

| I never expected that I would get this far into the summer without landing a
job. But that's the way it has turned out. I still haven't heard from Xerox,
which pretty much means "no" at this point. Fakespace Labs, a small
company that works with imaging and virtual reality gear, is going to give me a
call back on the 30th, hopefully with an offer. The thing that really has me
excited is that Nissan's testing center, unless the situation changes there
(entirely possible with my luck) is going to interview me for a few jobs the
next day. The catch with the Nissan jobs is they're in Phoenix... and I'd like
to stay (move back to, rather) the Bay area. hmm... | | |
| still waiting... xerox said they'd get back to me on monday. it's now thursday. hmmmm. whoever said that the anticipation of a thing enhances it deserves a tire iron upside the head. | | |
| woo-woo. got a second-round interview in portland with xerox. the job is a supply quality engineer; it deals a lot with OEMs and making sure parts meet the standards of the design engineers, manufacturing, etc. the first thing i thought of upon hearing the job descrip is the guy who gets fired in office space that then gets in the car wreck: "I take the specs from the customers and i deliver them to the engineers" - though in this case i guess it's reversed. the job, should i get it, seems pretty cool - it involves a decent amount of travel to japan, and i've never been.
my bike is still way awesome. did a longer ride last night and only got (myself) scratched up a little. | | |
| wow, who could believe i'd actually graduate in a few days? i think the freshmen across the hall from me are tired of my loud antics - the RA on my hall just asked me to turn it down. final tomorrow. i feel bad- i'm the irresponsible asshole, the guy throughout the history of my school carreer i didn't want to bechome. i guess, sometimes, you just have to embrace it. as andrew w. K. says, "when it's time to party, we will party hard." or something. here's a picture of my bike:
 werd, coolness, i write again sometime.
