Blog: First blog post!

Welcome to my first blog post! I never thought I'd be writing a blog, but here I am, desperately attempting to write a blog. It’s not that writing is out of character for me, even though I spend my days writing code in front of a computer screen. I enjoy writing about events and people who never existed and will probably never exist. But I’ve never found the same excitement in non-fiction. Nonetheless, here it goes, a bit about me. I'm a recent graduate from Computer Science (and microbiology) at UBC, who took one directed studies course in web development and have been hooked from then on. Which is what led me to applying for a developer job here at Function Point a scant few months ago now.

And as I delve deeper into work here, there are 2 events on the horizon that are worth more than a passing glance. First is the progress of the newest version of Function Point, and the very cool new features that I get to help develop. Every feature is a puzzle to solve, and I enjoy almost every minute of it (enjoying *every* minute of it would be too exhausting, so I’m sticking to almost). The second event is more of a non-event. It is that for the first time since I started Kindergarten many, many years ago, I am not going back to school in September. I imagine it will be a bit of a shock to the system—I wouldn’t be surprised if I wound up at UBC before I realized I was supposed to be heading in the opposite direction!

End of blog post. (Thanks for putting up with it)
