On Monday, I took Brian to Georgia Tech for a College of Computing info session. A couple of thoughts:
- It was wild seeing the campus and how much it’s changed since I was there. It seems bigger than I remember. Yet, I still recognize the “mile markers” from my memory. The walkway to the CoC. The old student center. The place where my cousin and I crossed paths on the morning of 9/11.
- Being there and listening to the college’s advisor speak about the program made me feel good. Like I was part of something special. And I guess I was…am.
- As we walked down the main pathway toward the student center, I looked over at Brian and said “Don’t ever think I’m not incredibly proud of you.” He didn’t seem to know what to say to that. But it’s one of those parent things that you shouldn’t let go by without telling them.
- Listening to the advisor describe the curriculum these days, it makes me yearn for the days of just pure knowledge ingest.
