2005 Year-in-Review

Here it is once again, in words by season and in photos by month; this is my 2005 Year-in-Review.

Winter was my last quarter in Informatics, full of hours in MGH with Trevor and Rufino for our “Information Solutions for CIRGE” senior Capstone. It was 19 credits of hard work, followed by the infamous trip to Canon Beach with the INFO Crew. Spring was a complete shift in gears with no more classes at the iSchool and a full load of economics. It was a relatively laid-back quarter studying trade, growth, and political economy, with lots of sunshine, cranberry juice-breaks with Paul, birthday parties, and well, the dreadful job search. Then, happily, I graduated. Summer was nice, real nice. I started work at Atlas with the great NC team, doing website usability consulting, and adjusting to an 8-5. Mainly though, it was free time with Ryan, Jackson Johnson on CD, Capoeira, Harry Potter 6, parks, and outdoor barbecues; ending with a family trip to Chicago and DMB at the Gorge. Fall? A weekend in Las Vegas with Ryan and friends, my first trip to New York, and a bit of Texas Hold ‘Em. After the series of holidays (which I do adore), the final days of the year were spent in Nicaragua, doing volunteer work, sleeping on the floor of an orphanage, and burning a paper man on the street at midnight.
