  • When it rains – bitchfest

    I still have not moved to the new place. I move this Thursday. It has been stressful. Yesterday I raced my mountain bike and crashed a couple of times. I broke my spokes in the back wheel and taco-ed the front wheel. On top of all that I broke my front brakes off. The day…

  • Moving Out

    Tomorrow I go to a Mountain Bike Race in VT. Today my landlord looks at my apartment and I find out what kind of deposit refund I get. I also have to clean out the car. Fist and foremost I will get some sleep as last night I had a going away party at Suzies…

  • Grades Are In

  • Moving

    This moving thing is very tiring. I still have to pack and get the car ready. I have canceled all my utilities and have set up new ones in Hamden. Today I go to the post office to change address. I am hoping to take a little break tomorrow and go to Burlington with my…

  • Skipped Training … Feeling Funky About It

    Yesterday I did not go out and train as planned. It has been two days and I’m feeling funky about it. I did go out and hammer on the mountain bike last night for 1 and a half hours though. Today i will run, do laundry, and finish packing up the bedroom.

  • Moving Progress

    Today I have packed up my closet. Wow what a bunch of shit. My front room and bathroom are done except for the paint. Pat has called our new landlord and the move is still up in limbo but I trudge forward.

  • New Digs

    Well we finally (theoretically) got the apartment. Click here to see the floor plan. We are renting from Avalon Communities in Hamden CT. Our Community is Avalon Walk in Hamden Hills. My new address will be 10311 Town Walk Drive, Hamden, CT 06518. We move in on the 12th. Check out the virtual view of…

  • Hamden Connecticut Maybe

    Pat Lannon and I have been here in Shelton CT for about 4 days and still have not nailed down a place to live. We are close to getting a real nice place in Hamden CT. This morning as I write this update we are waiting to go over to the office and find out…

  • Moving to Stratford CT Peril

    I am now freaking out. How will I afford to move to Stratford CT. I don’t get my 5,500 in relocation and sighing bonuses until 60 days after I start work. I start on the 18th of June. I am learning C in preparation.

  • I Start at Sikorsky Next Month

    Wow so much has changed. I plan to update this page in a major way. Today I learned that I start at Sikorsky on the 18th of next month. This week I: Thursday: Took my last final in Networking and bombed it big time. Went to the Naked turtle for a beer and a burger.…

  • Lets Be together

    This is Finals week. Hurrah, I have made it. The schedule for this week is posted. If you are someone who lives near me, lets make plans to do something before I move. That is, if I move. I haven't received my official offer yet and I am getting nervous. I have been camping and…

  • Offer From Sikorsky

    Yo, check it out! Just snagged an offer from Sikorsky, straight outta the mailbox like a Huey landing in my living room. Feels like things are happening faster than a Cobra in a headwind – graduation’s still a hazy mirage, and bam, this sweet opportunity slaps me in the face (figuratively, of course, safety first!).…

  • First Ride Tomorrow

    Today I will be working on our Voting Project all day and I just updated the page. It is a nice day out today and tomorrow I plan to go on my first group ride of the season. Should be fun. Next week I will be going to Sikorsky Aircraft for a interview.

  • As Usual, Late For Class

    It has been a while since I was able to update this page. I have however been updating certain sections in my school pages. I just updated my schedule to reflect this week. You may notice that I added a weather banner also to the news page. Well as usual I am late for class.

  • 171 Mile Week

    It’s been one heck of a week, that’s for sure. I’ve been pedaling like a madman, racking up 171 miles on my bike. Might as well have been chasing the horizon, for all the good it did to my tired legs. Then there’s the Senior Seminar class—oh boy, that’s a whole other marathon. Between the…

  • 2 Hour Ride

    Just wrapped up watching Shanghai Noon, and what a ride that was—not on my bike this time, but through the wild antics and adventures of the Wild West, with a comedic twist. It’s one of those movies that catches you by surprise with its humor, a perfect blend of action and comedy that had me…

  • I Can Only Do So Much

    Ugh, this weekend felt like homework swallowed me whole. Like, seriously, it was more intense than trying to learn the TikTok dances my niece keeps showing me. (Let’s be honest, those things are defying the laws of physics.) Point is, I bit off more than I could chew, and burnout is lurking like a cafeteria…

  • Work Study Sucks

    Ah, the wild ride of juggling school and work, right? It feels like those days that start in the pitch dark and don’t wrap up till the stars are out, hoping for a free weekend (as rare as a quiet spot in the library during exam time). Today was meant to be research day. Just…
