So I'll do another quick update.

Two more days of class (including two finals tomorrow) and then one final on Saturday and then I'M DONE WITH THIS SCHOOL YEAR!  That feels good, as I think there's been some dragging of feet going on.

As far as summer goes, my de facto plans were to head back to Spokane, but I was offered a rather generous offer from Personify here in Seattle, and it's tempting to take them up on that.  I would receive a substantial raise, I would work on billable projects, I would work full-time, and I would work directly with clients... but I wouldn't be able to be home for the summer.

Option B is heading back to Spokane (which means getting to see family, and also free housing), and working with Jack with TrackMy again.  This pay is about the same as Personify (give or take), AND I would get to work remotely, but it would not be as strong of a learning experience, and it wouldn't be in a collaborative environment... and it wouldn't be in Seattle.

Option C is the one-day-old wild card, and it's really up in the air, but it is definitely the most exciting.  On Friday (due to random series of connections... these things just happen, I guess) I'm meeting with the guy who invented Cranium the board game who sold his company and has moved on to a new one.  It seems that he's looking for a web developer for this new company, and I'd like to think that I might fit the bill.  Plus, this guy apparently rolls with the big guys--he's a phone call away from the CEOs of Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.  This would be an excellent resource for some of my own entrepreneurial endeavors, and he himself would at least be an excellent contact.  Plus, this has the potential to pay more toward the full professional realm (if I dare to be optimistic.)

I'll find out in 36 hours how exactly this one is going to play out... but it sure is fun to hope on this one.

Oh, by the way, the company's name is BoomBoom, and this guy's official title is not CEO, or President, or Founder, or anything really mundane like that.  His title is "Chief BoomBoom."  A bit of research tells me that his title back with Cranium was "Grand Pooh-Bah."  I already cannot imagine how cool this guy is going to be.  I'll be sure to update as I know more.
