But there are other ways outside (or in partnership) with schools to reconnect with those passions. I peg you as an excellent person for computer science and software engineering outreach. Oh, the high school students that you could get excited! Think about it!</p> I know how you feel about losing all the extras one can do whilst studying… maybe that’s why I’m in grad school, and may become one of those professional students.

Right now I have this urge to just work by day and code by night. There's just so much I <em>didn't</em> learn in school, and as soon as I'm not swamped in homework anymore, I plan on exploring. I want to be able to find a job and <em>fall in love</em> with it. Knowing myself, if there's no love, then it'll become just as mind-numbing as my janitor job. Expect I'll get more pennies every hour.</p> Zed was definitively an inspiration for me. Right now I have this urge to just work by day and code by night.

Basically, you are you and self analysis almost always ends up negatively affecting you. I think you're awesome, at least from all the cusec stuff. Linking potentially awesome computer visionaries with named computer users and visionaries. A "purpose" may or may not ever show itself, but at least pennies will drop. Just do as many bloggers have, and you're doing now. Express personal viewpoint on whatever strikes your fancy, have fun in your free time, and robot at work. Zed has this down packed, I think.</p> Ugh, I keep trying to write something deep and meaningful here but end up deleting it to avoid the frustration of misinterpretation.
