floorplan

i did a little more searching, and found a floorplan for you guys. so here you go.

new apartment

well, the reality of school ending and the rest of life begininng is starting to really set in. i put a $100 deposit down on an apartment in order to hold it for me. that's the floor plan for it in the picture. the apartment is 800 sq. feet. it's huge, and really open. also, there's a schoolyard behind it, so it's like i have a backyard for my apartment. that never happens. it's awesome. the location is prime too. there's all sorts of stuff that'd i'd want to be around me, and it's about a 5 to 10 minute drive to the epic campus where i'll be working, no highways either. i'm super excited. anyways, that's all for now. nevermind, i couldn't find a floor plan, so i posted what the front of the buildings looks like.

mystery commenter

for those of you who don't know, i have a mystery commenter. someone that i know has been commenting on my blog and has issued a challenge to me to figure out who they are. now, i haven't heard many rules from this commenter, so i don't know how many "tries" i get at this, so i've been waiting until i had enough information to make a pretty solid guess. anyways... 1234, i do believe that you also go by the name of Jason Coon.

JOB!!!!!!!!

good news folks. for all of you that may be pretty "in the know" of my life, i have not been enjoying my current job much. i won't go into details, suffice it to say, i didn't really want to work there after graduation. well, last monday, i went to madison to interview with a company called Epic Systems for two positions (project manager and technical services). they are a healthcare software company, really forward thinking, and lots of fun. it was probably the most fun i've ever had while interviewing for a job.

well, they called me last night at 5:30 and offered me a job as a project manager (the one i really wanted). i won't go into all the details, cuz i'm sure you don't really care, but they are awesome. believe me. i was so excited. as i told my dad about 10 minutes later on the phone, i really owe a big thank you to God on this one. He really provided for me. and it's pretty awesome to see prayers answered. so, if you want to come visit me in madison, let me know. i'll be moving up there right after graduation. of course i won't be around for a while because jake and i will be on our road trip, but i'll start working june 5th. so after that, i'll be a permanent fixture of the madison area. oh, and i'll probably post more about what the job is later.

(and yes, i know the picture has nothing to do with the post, but it's funny)

senior thesis

for the few of you that read my blog regularly you may have noticed that it's been a while since i've posted. you can thank my senior thesis for that. last weekend i went to a conferenct to report on what i had found, and my first go at the paper is due tomorrow. so the last three weeks have been focused on getting all of that done. and of course not faling behind in all my other classes. so, in essence i haven't had time to post.

well, the presentation went really well. i got a lot of good feedback from professors from other schools. in addition, i found a bunch more examples yesterday of amphicheiral knots that are ribbon amphicheiral (if you really want to know what i'm talking about, i'll send you a copy of my paper). and speaking of the paper, it's all done, save the title page, table of contents, conclusion, and reference (piddly easy stuff).

so anyways, now that the paper is done, my life may return somewhat to normal. although i do still have two photo portfolios and a presentation on the project to give. yeesh, i feel like i'll never be done with all this junk. oh well...

i leave for wisconsin tomorrow. i'll be heading home for the easter weekend and then to madison on sunday afternoon. i have my second round interview with epic systems on monday. that'll be the last job interview of this job hunting "season". hopefully it works out, cuz it's a really cool company. but more on that later, i'm heading to bed.

p.s. the picture is a little taste of what's been going on in my senior project. if you can tell me what's going on there, i'll be very impressed, and may buy you lunch.
