Thank you to both of you.

Competition is tomorrow and I’m a tad nervous. I’ll be honest here though, I joined basically to skip a few days of school.:P But after doing well in both Sectionals and Regionals, I’m feeling a little pressure for this.

Also, I find it odd how many coaches seem to have interests in both Computer Science related things and coaching track. I know you both have those interests and my assistant coach does also.

Aaron, the best thing about you is you are not like me. When I was your age, I was restricted from the computer lab in HS except for my Computer Programming IV class, because I hacked into the administrative computer over the network and was only caught because I was on it too long at one sitting as only 1 person could be logged in at one time. I had the password for 20 months. I could recite countless other times of me breaking or bending the system to my will or going against the grain and coming out on top. The world needs people like me, but I am positive it needs more people like you or it would be complete chaos.

Its not so much an interested in computer science anymore as it is a way to support the family right now. In some ways, I like the simpler lifestyle and would feel just as comfortable hunting and gathering while living in a cave as I am living in the digital age. If there is one thing I hate about the digital age, its a lack of contextual communication and media. I am fascinated by all knowledge and soak it up whenever I can and move on.
