Engineers and programmers are the often-anonymous architects of society, and what you do now could make a huge difference to the lives of millions, even billions, of people in decades to come.

it's over! 4 1/4 years of school, 13 quarters, it all ended in 2 of the most work- and study-filled weeks ever. despite being done with my last final 2:30p.m. on wednesday and spending my last time on the UCLA campus on thursday for a super-easy presentation, i was not finished with school until 9p.m. friday. the sharp, ravenous talons of school clawed at me and fought with me until the bitter end. screw you school! i'd like to see you take me down with a big fat F in one of my last classes. i gave it my all. now it's up to the judges to decide the victor. i know you kicked my ass the first 2 years but i came back in the last 2 1/4. if it does happen, it'll be the biggest upset ever.
