I'm Back!

It's been a while, but this blog is back in business. For those just tuning in, I graduated on Sunday (whee!) and I got a job as a software developer in San Francisco. I start July 9th. Before that gets rolling, Chris and I are headed to Europe for about 3 weeks to kick around the U.K., France, and Italy.

We leave Monday, and right now I'm still in Pittsburgh, moving out. So I'm packing. I hate packing. Still. I think the most depressing thing about packing is seeing the bags of garbage and Good Will material and thinking, "Why on earth was I living with all of this stuff?" Most of it could have been trashed six months ago.

Actually, that's a lie. The most depressing part is knowing that I sent a full SUV of stuff home with my parents yesterday and not seeing any real difference in the way the house looks. Some of this can be attributed to the fact that it's a house, four people live here, and two of them aren't moving for another few weeks. Also, I'm not anywhere close to done packing.

And tonight is trash night so I'm trying to get the bulk of the trash dealt with, which means doing with the rest of the packing. It's going to be a long night.
