I loved WPI. In general, the teachers were competent, the courses challenging, and the people lots of fun. I feel like I got a good education there, despite the fact that I’ve not used it professionally yet. I figured that having a really cool job would make up for a salary cut.
I knew that my [...]
Heh. I thought I would wander around to the places where my friends tend to gather tonight; do some hanging out with them. I’ve been pretty reclusive lately, and I thought it would be good to see people.
