I am like 6 days late on my 2014 post
2014 was freaking awesome. I went to New Orleans for the first time, and then back again a few weeks later. It was an amazing city and I cannot wait to go back soon. I moved to a new department in my previous job and as a result made some awesome new friends. I continued to plow through my graduate program and am excited to continue to make progress this year. I got a great new job at Linode, uprooted my life, moved to South Jersey, and met some amazing people. I wrote more code, solved more problems, and learned more than any previous year to date. I cannot wait to see what 2015 has in store. :)
