What an ordeal…

That was the most painful move I ever did. This is probably why I haven’t got any time to write about anything that is going on with me.

Of course, we started looking for a place to rent in SJ during one of the biggest shortage of rental, that didn’t help. Next we were 2h away which makes it real hard to just drop in and sign paper with craiglist ads (which stays on for a few hours only…).

So, we started to freak out seriously at the end of July since our lease was ending in at the end of august. “Luckily” Our friends Scott and Jenella were going to Australia, to study insects, for a good 9-10 weeks. We took the job and stayed at their big house in Davis.

Amazing house huge garden, 2 dogs, 10 chickens. You get the idea. We didn’t get out of Davis too much. The place had a storage room so we were able to stack all of our stuff which ended up being a huge mountain of crap.

Many things happened since the quals.

First it went ok, my thesis is going to be about the following :”Clock storage elements and clock distribution co-design for energy efficiency”. Obscure no? hope so, that’s what thesis titles are supposed to be no? Anyway, it is still a lot of work, but it is moving.

Then, at my job they decided to get an office in San Jose and eventually move everyone there. So, since Sarah graduated we moved from Davis to SJ.
