The high-school part is over

Got my baccalaureate exam grades and my graduation diploma and I am now officially a high-school graduate. Can’t say that I am not happy about it – these were some interesting 12 years. And as it always happens – I met the most awesome people at the end of my senior year (Bee, Alexandrina, Pufa, Grushka, Maria Cretu & Dvininov, Dima (running) – just to name a few). But I am extremely excited for college. I will be pursuing an Associate’s Degree in Computer Science at Independence Community College in Kansas – a pretty cool place, I must say – I attended it for a semester during my junior year in high-school and really enjoyed the campus as well as the way classes are held. From what I know it is still the same now.

Why computer science? Most likely because I am a computer geek (a silent doh! comes to mind at the moment). I hope to get into some programming (although at ICC I probably won’t be doing much C# – I expect there to be a lot of C++ and Java) over there and hopefully get involved in some software development contests (ImagineCup and Google Summer of Code have the priority in this case but I am open for anything). I will be still working with Microsoft tools on my own – that’s something I really enjoy and not going to give up.

And I hope to finally take more pictures of the place I will live in (Independence, KS) – missed this one in 2008. So for now, I am getting ready to board the plane and come to Independence, Kansas.
