Alot can change in a month and it hasn’t even been a full month since I last wrote! Lets recap.
SFO-NYC
Following WordCamp, I had my last week of internship. I said my goodbyes and got some great advice before leaving. I went to a wedding in Los Gatos and reunited with some friends college. What stuff I couldn’t carry with me on the plane, I packed into boxes and mailed out. I dropped off my bike at my bike shop and had them deal with mailing. Then I was off, a Sunday morning around 7am. Flying Virgin America across the country was one of the best experiences I’ve had flying in a long time.
NYC
I spent about 4 days wandering around NYC once again. It had been awhile and I missed the city. I stopped at the Met, Guggenheim, and MoMA for some cultural experiences, while literally just wandering the rest of the time. I ate all my favorite food again and loved it. I had some beer in the East Village. I read a book in Battery Park for a few hours and took in the sun. NYC is a lovely city.
Rochester
Rochester is not a lovely city. I try not to be too scathing in my review of this city, but the longer I spend here, the more miserable I get. My work ethic toward has improved greatly, mainly in part to not wanting to go out at all. I’ve eaten everywhere, seen all the hobos and landmarks, and driven the streets too many times. 6 months of 70 degree, sunny California weather makes me happy. 6 months of snow, rain, and freezing weather doesn’t.
It’s week 3 of classes currently and I’m chugging along. I’m doing some good programming in C, finishing up some personal work from the summer, and ready to move on. I have a full year left at RIT, I’m going to make the most of it, but I will be very glad when I’m done.
