Last Post... Ever!

I had previously written up most of what was going to be my final blog entry talking about all the ways in which my time in Brazil changed my future plans, how much I enjoyed it and learned from it, etc. However, I don't think that scrawled-out rough draft will ever make it onto the pages of this here blog, and so this post will have to do.

My plan since last summer has been to abandon IT, at least for the next few years. I want to focus full time on linguistics, though I'm sure I'll be doing some programming on the side for some personal projects. I'm going back to Barão Geraldo in July after I graduate to try my hand at getting into UNICAMP's Master's program in sociolinguistics, language policy more specifically. I'm gonna be with my lady, pursue the linguistics dream, and hopefully teach English to Brazilians to earn my daily bread (take note that tuition's free and I'm also counting on a scholarship *fingers crossed*). After the two years it'll take to get my degree... well, we'll see where we are.

There you have it, the post I should have written 6 months ago. I won't be writing in this blog anymore since my little stint in Brazil is over and I'm planning on actually moving there; this soon-to-be-fully-brazilified gringo has no more use for this blog. I'll probably start up a new one which will be more broadly devoated to linguistics with a hint of tech stuff at some point. I'd image you'd be able to find it by googling me (if and when I make it). Tschuss.
