Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow.

OK so actually its effective on 3/14 at 11PM, details mere details! Oh and I'm not the President, pssh.

So I signed into my email from home today and sent my manager my two weeks notice. It is a momentous day. It was hard to pull the trigger on that email too, so I talked to Ben over chat and he helped me through it. I sent it and got a short, but not curt, response back acknowledging the date.

So it was a bit scary, after going to the same job for 6 years you get comfortable, put down roots, you forget what it was like out there "on the outside". I talked to Greg for a while about his experience with leaving Dell, he said it was scary at first too, because you don't know what to expect but then he found it was a lot better outside of Dell for those same reasons, life was interesting again. Thanks Greg I appreciate the good words. Also Tammy reminded me to keep my eyes were I'm going not were I've been. Very true, thanks sweetie!

Overall I'm feeling really grateful for my family and friends who are there for me when things feel uncertain, or unknown. Thanks guys!

Quick update: Today I finally got the lease from the "apartment people". We signed it, had it notorized (for some reason they wanted that), and faxed it back. I think they should be satisfied, for now, with our hoop jumping skills enough to give us an apartment.





Oh yeah, I talked to my financial aid advisor She told me I'm the first one in the entire class to get all my paper work done. I asked for an award but she said they didn't have one. However they do have a merit scholarship so I'm gonna try and get it while I'm still their favorite little applicee.

Here is what the apartment people look like so you may be able to spot one in the wild...

I think its the boots that give them away.

Numero Uno

So my first post, what to say.... hmmm

Well so far I still need to secure my apartment in Winter Park/Orlando, give my two weeks notice (should do this on Friday), pack everything into boxes get a moving truck and move.

The apartment is almost all complete; they should be sending me the official lease today. Got a good deal, 767/mo on a 2 bedroom with all new fixtures and appliances. If you have spent any amount of time living in an apartment you know these little things make a big difference.

I think giving my notice is weird, once I do it will be officially declaring that door closed, or maybe I should say complete, that path is complete time to go down a new path. There was definitely trepidation towards this whole change in my life but I find the closer I get to this day the less uncertainty I feel and the more excited I am about plunging into this thing. Mind you I have made sure I can succeed. I have secured financing, eliminated all my debt, and prepared to the max academically among other things.

Have I mentioned I hate moving, let me just say it now - I hate moving. But, it has to happen eventually so why not now. So I need to get boxes, why don't you guys bring me some boxes that would be way cool. In return you can stay in my spare room and go to Disney World, if you help me load the truck then I'll even let you see Epcot Center and Universal Studios. That’s a good deal, I would jump on that if I were you.

Well that’s where things are at so far, laterz
