July 4th, Independence Day. Two hundred and thirty years ago, the US claimed its independence from Britain and the US as we know it started. Ironically, tomorrow after twenty-two years of being mostly independent from commitments and responsibilities, I begin work at Apple and give up, in a small way, the freedom I’ve personally been used to. No longer will I have months off during the summer to travel and return home to Finland, nor will I have the long weekends and breaks I’d gotten so used to in college. Instead, however, I’ll have a steady paycheck, be working at one of the most innovative tech companies around, and be living under the California sun. I can deal with that.

So what have I been up to since I graduated in late May? A whole lot. It’s been a hectic six weeks and all told, have travelled over 10,000 miles during the time. Straight after graduation, I returned home to New York City for a couple of days of r&r before heading out to the White Mountains in New Hampshire for close to a week with several friends. There, we climbed, hiked, ran, and generally had a wonderful time in the great outdoors. The weather co-operated, the company was friendly, and the scenery pristine, yielding many photographic opportunities with the results posted over at Flickr.
