Again

I was given job offers every where I applied, except in Chattanooga. I think it's because they could tell I had no desire to live in Chattanooga.

I've decided to accept the offer at Garmin and turn down the rest. I'll be graduating and moving to Kansas City in May.
I just have to finish up and send them some paperwork and then fill out more paperwork.

My group finished our application for my embedded systems class, and it's been extrapolated into a very good idea. However it's got some GPS and location based aspects so I contacted my recruiter at Garmin about it before I signed a confidentiality agreement. I want my idea to be my own even though it will use location based stuff, which is Garmin's "thing".

I've been feeling very disconnected from myself lately and I can't figure out why. There has been a lot of introspection (as if that's anything new) and I yet I can't figure out why I have the perspective I have. Why I feel so removed from myself.

I need to go to therapy. 2012 has been a very annoying year and I'm hoping to make 2013 much much better. I have a few goals as everyone does for the new year and I'm hoping to come out shining. We'll see in a year. 

I found a couple of blogs on tumblr I really like.

http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/ which is described as: Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb. 

The other is http://randomshopper.tumblr.com which is, a guy wrote a bot to buy random CD's/DVD's/Books for him off Amazon, they get shipped to his house and he reviews them, he only just started but I think it's an incredibly interesting experiment, I hope he keeps it up.

I'll be back sooner than later, finals wrap up the 13th and I'll have more time to write.
