Where I am and what I'm up to

Right now, I'm in Providence, having finished one semester of the Comp Sci masters program at Brown, meaning that I started in January. For the observant of you, that means I had several months between finishing work last summer and starting at Brown in January. In that time, I rode Amtrak across the country from San Francisco to Schenectady via Portland, Seattle, and Chicago. I also took a trip to Europe, visiting the UK, Switzerland, and France, where I also rode on many trains, including the TGV, Eurostar, and Virgin Pendolino, as well as the legendary Swiss rail network.

In a week, I'm leaving for Sunnyvale, CA, for a summer internship, and then heading back to Providence to finish school, hopefully in December. After that, who knows. I might stay in Boston, I might move to Silicon Valley, because much as I hate it, that's where the jobs are. And high gas prices will hopefully make it increasingly tolerable to live in.
