Today, the movers came to take all of my stuff into storage for Fairfax. My room is empty and all I have right now are some clothes for my Mexico trip with Liz and her family (June 3-10), my laptop, and toiletries. This should be fun. I am extremely excited for the next couple weeks. I start my job on the 16th. I will be working in the Abnormal Errors Detection group. I really do not know what all that entails, but it sounds like a great job for me.
I am hoping that in the next year, I can get myself situated to start working on an MBA, an engineering-related Master's degree, or both. I really want to further my education, but found a terrific job and couldn't stand the thought of another 4-5 years just taking classes and working on a huge dissertation. Maybe eventually I will go back and get a PhD, but that will not be for a while. For right now, I am just going to try to do the best that I can at work, see about these opportunities, and plan accordingly.
It is pretty hard for me to figure out my emotions through this entire process, because there are so many. One minute, I will be excited; the next sad; the next scared. I am trying to act like a tough guy through all of it, mostly because I don't know how to react to this kind of feeling. All I know right now is that I have had a ton of great times in the past and I anticipate many more in the future.
