Curtis Lyon, make your own luckTumblr (3.0; @presidente-curtis)http://presidente-curtis.tumblr.com/<p>To Whom it may concern,<br/><br/>I haven&#8217;t been on tumblr for a long time, i think last time i logged in was June&#8230;i digress;<br/><br/>any time somebody messages me on tumblr i get an email sent to my phone that details what was said.<br/><br/>someone sent me a message in regards too <a href="http://presidente-curtis.tumblr.com/post/21423142901/lucky-you"><a href="http://presidente-curtis.tumblr.com/post/21423142901/lucky-you">http://presidente-curtis.tumblr.com/post/21423142901/lucky-you</a></a></p> <p>to be honest, i forgot all about that posts. the problems that transcended that post were all mended in someway shape or form.<br/><br/>I re-read the post and i can clarify or update the world on the circumstances<br/><br/>problem 1 - Pokemon and under-performing<br/>as i was reading this problem i gave myself a pat-on-the-back. like i said i had one tournament left to earn a spot in hawaii&#8230;.long story shot: i won the tournament and had the privileged to represent Canada for the 3rd time. i got cheated out in hawaii but that didnt stop be from having a wonderful vacation.</p> <p>problem 2 - all my friends dropping out<br/>i think this problem really came into fruition yesterday. i went to class for the first time in my last semester and i was shocked at the bare emptiness of my lab. 9 students left from what was once a lab where you would be lucky to find a seat&#8230;<br/>The sad fact is that, im just going to have to get by without them.</p> <p>problem 3 - financial situation</p> <p>despite loosing all my money on the tax situation, i can proudly say ive stabled myself again.</p> <p>life goes on.</p> <p>Future<br/><br/>I dont like looking ahead but i always like planning for the future (contradiction?). i realized awhile back that becoming a network engineer in Canada gives you limited option. i could virtually work anywhere&#8230;literally any company that uses the internet. and while that does seem appealing i have big dreams for myself. the fact is if i really want to get to where i see myself and talents in the future i cant do that in Canada. the biggest companies and potential lie within the United States.<br/><br/>i recently applied to a few companies in the US and out of the hundreds i applied too i was accepted at two positions&#8230;ebay and HP. i was asthonished that i got accepted even before finishing school. before i get anyones hopes up there are a few caveats with this plan. the initial problem is that both jobs require me to move to san fransico. while that doesnt seem bad i would need to become a US resident&#8230;and to become a working resident(in my work contract) i would need a degree :(. because i need a degree i think this means i should probably upgrade after im done school. as much as i wanted to be that guy guns blazing after college, i cant settle with a 60k job. come time next september curtis will have to enroll in University&#8230;.take that for what its worth</p> <p>Update complete</p>http://presidente-curtis.tumblr.com/post/30969561125http://presidente-curtis.tumblr.com/post/30969561125Wed, 05 Sep 2012 21:34:12 -0400<img
