I haven’t posted in a long time.  Actually I haven’t posted since I lived in Blacksburg!  That was almost 2 months ago… so let’s rewind a bit…

I moved up here June 25th, and right away I met some people I’d be working with at a happy hour.  I met the person that was going to escort me on my first day, by freak coincidence there too.  I spent a lot of money at ikea… and then turned around and bought a 52″ Samsung 1080p television!  It is awesome (i’m sitting in front of it now… I feel like I’m at the olympics).  Eventually I got a PS3 (for the blu-ray player) and a new iphone 3g, both are pretty sweet.

Anyways… I started work July 7th.  My boss is pretty awesome.  I’m the first person in the program that he’s supervised but I can’t tell.  I’ve been to Newport, RI and Newport News on business travel.  Next week I’m going back up to Newport, RI to observe some stuff.  I’ll also get to travel to Groton, CT and a few other places.  I’m doing some pretty interesting work.  My major project has the potential to be very big… and I could “make a name” for myself, so long as I don’t screw it up.

My first external rotation is going to be to Keyport, WA (near Seattle).  You know what that means??  It means I get to see RON FORBES!!  I’ll be there for 12 weeks.

I feel like an alcoholic now that I’m out of college (I’m not, I just feel that way).  The Navy Yard peeps, and my VT friends, all like to go out to a lot of happy hours and just have some classic good times.

Joe moves in this next weekend to the apartment and Travis has been here since he started work (same time as me).  Don’t get to see too much of him though.  It’ll be nice to have all of us here finally, but it’ll be weird when I go on my first rotation and being away from all of my friends and stuff.

After writing all of the above… it doesn’t seem like all that much has happened (though I am leaving out a decent chunk of stuff… such as what I actually do at work and some other personal stuff).

OH… I cooked Chicken Divan last night… it turned out great.  And Chris Hicks is in town, so I’m going to hit lunch and/or a happy hour with him tomorrow.

More later… promise…

Well that was quick…
