Today was the first day that I woke up without knowning what to do next! Yesterday, I unofficially finished my undergraduate life at Hamilton College. The slightly-revised version of my Honors Thesis in Computer Science was handed in (yes, I got honors!), the last exam was taken, and my Ferry building (Computer Science department) key was returned. I’m done. Between now and graduation on May 21st, I can relax and enjoy the final days of college life: relaxing in the sun, wining and dining with buddies, and of course, spending as much time as possible with the closest friends.
Perhaps the best thing yesterday though was getting an official offer of employment from the company I’ve always wanted to work for: Apple Computer. Returning from a run with a friend, I had one of the best phrases known to mankind left on my voicemail, “…we have exciting news for you.” Returning my recruiter’s call, I found out that the position I had interviewed for on Monday, Mac OS X Product Release Engineer, was officially mine if I wanted it. Long story short, I had been interviewing with Apple since February for a position, first with the iCal team, and now, with the Mac OS X team. The offer is very competitive and I’ve more or less decided that I’ll be taking it. I should receive a written copy of the offer on Tuesday and after I look through it, I’ll be getting back to my recruiter with my decision. So, it looks like Phantom Planet’s lyrics, “California here we come,” will be holding true.
This past Saturday featured Hamilton College’s third annual music festival, May Day. Headlining this year were the fabulous New Pornographers, minus lead female vocalist, Neko Case. Also playing were electronic/techno DJs Chromeo, indie pop band Elf Power, Ris Paul Ric, DJ Dave Nada, and local band, Zeaskeez. The event couldn’t have happened on a better day: blue skies with 65 degree weather. With minimal campus saftey presence and a laid back security staff, May Day felt like any odd music festival found in europe and allowed for a pleasant, relaxed time. Here are a couple of photos taken of the New Pornographers; more photos can be found over at flickr in the May Day 2006 set .
