college-life

Its a small album, but at least one photo is cool.

There’s something uniqe to Pittsburgh that I don’t think I’ve ever seen this big outside the Pittsburgh area…

Food from trucks:

Sure, in Silicon Valley they have the taco truck. And at every beach you’ll find the elephant-ear truck or the burger van. But we’re talking like rolling food court here. Every day the trucks park near the Pitt and CMU campuses and set up shop. They all serve great ethnic foods: Indian, Thai, Korean, Chineese, Greek. None of them would probably ever pass a health department inspection, but its a great place to get cheap, good food.

However, there is the process of elimination as you figure out which ones dish out food poisoning and which don’t…

Wow, almost a month since I last posted to this thing. I really shouldn’t let it slip this much anymore.

Well, as of about 20 minutes ago I’m 23 years old. Well, I guess technically I’m not 23 until about 8:00am, but right now I really don’t care.

I’m finally all settled in at Carnegie Mellon, and we started class Monday. The crush has already hit. After spending about 7 hours in the “cave” (more on that later) doing other homeworks, I’ve headed home to clear my head before starting a one-page writeup on a case study thats due tomorrow morning.

I’ve never been much of a coffee drinker. Too much of it does strange things to my head. But now I’m realizing just how important it will be for my survival in this program.

Update: This post should be read in more of a cynical tone… I’m not as angry or depressed as it may have sounded. I was pretty damn tired and stressed at the time. I’m not (nearly) as tired or stressed now…

The University of Michigan finally sent me my diploma.

Sorry guys, I’ve got the proof now, you can’t take it back now…

To prove I’m still around, I’ve posted a few more great albums of stuff I’ve taken over the last month.

Includes:

• More shots from Ann Arbor.
• For the stalkers, shots from my graduation.
• Cross-country from Detroit to San Jose.

Since I’m settling in in San Jose now, I should be able to post more soon.
