Coming home soon!

Dear Friends -

Seems like the semester has flown by, and yet the last couple weeks have been so slow. I have been applying for jobs and would ask you to forward on my resume to anyone you know in a Software / IT / Finance type of job. I'm sure that's one of the best ways I can find a great place to work.

My internship will be finished next Thursday. I have enjoyed the time and recently established more of a rapport with my boss than before (it still seems a bit cold & professional), and I've got mixed feelings on the consulting industry. Probably not somewhere I would want to start unless I can really use my technical degree. Finance, IT both sound interesting. And then there's computer vision... which would probably require some grad school.

I will be arriving back in Boston on the 15th around 5pm, and spending a night there before heading home (8 time zones from here) for a month off! I can't wait to see my family, as I've missed them since MAY. While in Boston, I hope to round up some friends for a party, including you, as long as you don't have a final the next morning (even if you do, if you study in advance).
I'm praying about doing a summer project before going to work. Pray that I'll have some clarity on that. Mostly, I could use your prayers for my job search, that I'll choose the right location, employer, etc.

I will go to a rugby game (London Wasps) on Sunday. I will present my research to my team, then go out for a British Christmas dinner on Monday. I will be seeing A Christmas Carol this coming Tuesday. It's nice to hear Christmas music again. Finally, on Saturday morning, I head to Germany for a few days... Can't wait to visit Imke and see a quaint German village... Then I'm back for a class, a final, and a trip back home!

Hope you've all had a great fall/winter. I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone.

God bless
-Brian <><
