I gave notice at work yesterday. I will be leaving my current company on August 16th. But then what, right? Well… I’m going back to school to get my Masters in Computer Science… In Sydney, Australia!!!
But studies at the University of New South Wales don’t actually start until March, so what are we doing until then? Here goes…
| Aug 16 | Last day of work |
| Aug 22 | Fly to Portland |
| Aug 22 – 28 | Stay in Portland, prepare for the big trip |
| Aug 28 | Fly to London! |
| Aug 29 – Oct 29 | Two months touring through Western Europe!!! |
| Oct 30 – Dec 21 | Bumming around Portland for 1.5 months |
| Dec 21 – Jan 7 | Vacation in Maui with my parents and Chloe |
| Jan 7 – March 3 | Summer in Sydney, settle in, play at the beach |
| March 3 | School starts! |
The Masters program is one year long, so I’ll be done by the end of 2008. And then what? Who knows??? Maybe get a job in Sydney? Maybe move to Oahu to work? California? Maybe continue school for a PhD? It’s wide open… got any suggestions? :p
Oh my Lord. Jake, you're crazy. In a good way of course. Maybe you guys could stop by Key West...
You've planned a two week Maui vacation? That's kind of insane!
And hey, me and K will be in Sydney at the same time as you.
In your world, an "adventure" would be staying in the same place for 3 years.
After Australia you could move to america's hat.
I'd visit you there too eh.
HOLY! CRAP! Jake you are crazy/unbelievable/inspiring/brilliant! That is amazing and we'll definitely have to come down to Portland in Oct/Nov to visit before you make the leap! Way to go!
