Doing the once a month update. I should probably work on improving that.
So the next big phase of my life is about to begin once I graduate in December, and I've finally finalized what I'll be doing. I accepted a position with Freescale Semiconductor in Austin, TX (the company I worked for this summer) and will start work there on February 19th. Part of me is going to really miss college as they really have been (by far) the best 4.. no 5.. no wait, make that 5 and a half years of my life. But having a career and starting the next chapter of my life is really exciting. Plus it's in Austin, one of the coolest cities in the country. I'll be doing a rotational program the first year, meaning I get to pick 4 groups and spend 3 months with each, and then at the end of the year pick my favourite one to work with. That was the biggest reason for going with Freescale. It of course didn't hurt that it was a very generous offer as well.
It's also midterm season, so what better time to update than in the middle of studying for one of my midterms on Monday? Tests are pretty much at the top of things I won't miss about college.
Midnight Madness was last night, probably the biggest one yet to welcome our National Championship team back to practice. Unfortunately our football national championship game hopes were dashed then tonight by losing to Auburn. So it goes. And no, there are no pictures from last night because I completely forgot to bring my camera. I used to be very dependable on that, but I've really slacked off in the last few months. See the lack of consistant cam updates. But I did take this great picture of the UF band from the Alabama game.
So that whole teleporation Star Trek thing? It's slowly but surely making some progress.
Also if you can still stomach McDonald's food, here's a guide to the rare pieces in the Monopoly game going on. I used to love McDonald's when I was a kid, but now I really try to avoid eating there if at all possible. Their fries are still to die for though. Literally, they'll kill you, but they're soo good!
It's also finally getting cold at night in Gainesville. That is one of the biggest things I'll miss about living in Florida, the wonderful winters. Sure I miss snow sometimes. But then I take a long walk in shorts and flip flops and forget about that. Though I do have a thing for girls in sweaters, so Florida's not so good for that. All well, I'll have to roadtrip somewhere now that I have a car and see some real snow. It's been years since I've played in the snow now that I think about it. Wow, really thinking about it, I'm not sure I've seen snow since I left Texas, so it's been almost 8 years. Maybe it'll snow in Gainesville this year. Yeah...
