A very long road

Many years ago I graduated from high school. Got accepted to Oregon State University and was pursuing a degree in business administration when it really hit me that it wasn't what I wanted to do with my life. I had a friend in the engineering program there that told me I would be a good fit, so I began looking at the college's webpage and after checking career paths & researching a bit I came to the conclusion at the end of winter term of my freshman year that I wanted to pursue Computer Engineering.

I kept taking business classes that spring and took an intro class to the ECE department. Fell in love with it immediately and changed my major after that term. 5 long hard years of Computer Engineering with a CS minor and 1 year of work experience interning at Mentor Graphics and RadiSys, I have all this in front of me.

(My wife's diploma is already in there. She graduated there to.)

And these came in the mail today.

2 assignments and a final exam in math which I pretty much just have to show up for and I'm out of this town.

I start work as a Software Design Engineer I at Tektronix June 21st
