My 23-day trip to Europe was amazing. Michelle and I spent a week in Paris, a night in Grenoble, three days in Florence, three days in Rome, three days in Venice, three days in Berlin and two in Amsterdam. My favorite city was Venice. It's a walking city with no roads, and navigating is like moving through a maze. Everyone should go to Venice! Go! Go now!

At the end of the Fall Semester, I will be graduating from UC Berkeley with a double major in Mathematics and Computer Science. I've also been working hard at Berkeley's Office of Residential Computing as their Lead System Administrator. I will spending my Spring semester looking for a full-time job while still working part time for Rescomp. Here's my resume, if you work somewhere with an IT department.

On the left is my girlfriend Ellie. I met her in June, on Friendster, and afterwards it didn't take too long for her to become very important to me. She's a fourth-year Integrative Biology major aspiring to optometry, and currently works in an optometrist's office. She's simply the kindest and cutest person I've ever met. Also, she's hot. I frequently fight back my friends' attempts to steal her away from me--even the girls. It's fair to say: everyone loves Ellie.

2003 was also the year of Midnight Rugby, which was a weekly game among a few friends on campus. We played from January to May and August to September, until injuries and sprinklers curbed the game. Also, Ellie and I started indoor rock climbing at IronWorks in September, and have gotten pretty good.

I hope the year has treated you well, and have Merry Christmas, a Happy Hannukah, a Kwazy Kwanzaa, a Tip-Top Tet, and a Solemn, Dignified Ramadaan. Please mail me back and let me know how you're doing,
