It's been a while since I posted last. I had a very busy (and somewhat unexciting) spring break. I went home for the first weekend to help my parents move out of their house (they are downsizing since all the kids are out of the house). I had to go back to school on Sunday because Monday through Thursday, I had an interview each day for co-ops. Overall I had 7 interviews and received 5 offers! It made me feel really good about myself. It was a very tough decision, but I finally made a choice. Afterwards I went back home to finish helping my parents move out.

As all of you are probably curious, I finally chosen to work for the MITRE corporation, which is a non-profit corporation who is responsible for three of the five federally funded research and development centers. It's a pretty big company, but I will primarily be working on their internal software (top secret). MITRE is placed in the top 100 places to work, and the atmosphere is very friendly. They offered me a lot of chances to learn and grow, which is ultimately the purpose of co-op. They are stationed in Bedford, MA, so the commute by public transportation is crazy (at least 1 1/2 hours!), so I investigating having a car on campus or carpooling.

You can find out more about MITRE at http://www.mitre.org. Feel free to ask me questions about the job or the process. I will answer to the best of my abilities.

In other news, I arranged a Caribbean Food Night in Stetson West the Wednesday before Spring Break. There was a ton of food including four different types of chicken, rice and beans, plantains, mangoes, and more!
