The end of 5 years and $50,000 is closer now than ever.
I now feel the burden of cold iron.... there's no getting away from the continual reminder of what I'm responsible for and what I've sworn myself to... yesterday we all got our iron rings.
We're now officially inducted into the Family of Engineers and a "married to a strive toward perfect".

I sat and listened about how we are the arbiters of civilization. How it is our role to bare alone... how we must ensure that people get what they want.. that society and mankind steps forward into the future in the safest possible way. How our work must advance us...

It was quite a build up and I must admit I left that ceremony (which might I add is top secret) feeling quite powerful. Now if only this barby little unconformable ring would just stop irritating my pinky. (but I suppose then it wouldn't serve as a reminder nearly as effectively)

oh! and P.S!
I'm the new owner of my namesake on the web.

The new .com me website was an idea floating around in my head ever since I came across my first co-op job application form that had a space between "fax #" and "e-mail address" for "personal www."

Now, I've finally gotten it (after a little motivation from Otis).
As for exactly what is going to go there. I'm not entirely sure.
As for exactly what is going to happen to this blog, I'm not entirely sure either. One thing is for certain, likely there will be some overlap between the two. Perhaps a meshing of the two together will be more appropriate. Perhaps when I'm not busy studying (procrastinating) for this week's midterms I'll sit down and html up myself something I'm relatively happy with.
