It is a beautiful late-summer evening. The kind of amber evening that warms the heart with hope and memories of Fall. Several years have passed since I discovered my love of Computer Science on nights like this one. My friend Serguei and I used to sit outside, as the sun set, enjoying the warmth from a hot cup of tea while we compared notes for class. That was the end of my adolescence and the beginning of young adulthood for me. I moved from a time of angst and despair, the hallmarks of my youth, into new and unchartered territory, a territory of potential and hope. It was during that Fall that I found a place for myself in the world of Computer Science, no matter how abstract or seemingly temporary. The passion I uncovered for the foundations of Computer Science gave me the strength to finish my Bachelor's degree, the direction which eventually lead me to where I am today.
My laptop's new keyboard came in today. It took 2 minutes to install - I love modular computer design.
I just walk right past two of my old coworkers, neither of them recognized me... hahaha. I hardly think about that place anymore, and I'm glad to be free of it.
