Well, it has been a few days since I have made it back to Dallas from Seattle, and the first thing that I miss is the cool weather and ocean breezes of the coastal regions. Other than that, I’d say I’m enjoying being back. There is a huge difference of culture from these two places and I was surprised to step off of the plane in Dallas and be able to feel like I was surrounded by completely different people. It’s hard to describe, but I’m sure those of you out there who have experienced such a shift in culture know exactly what I’m talking about. The culture in Seattle was fun an interesting because it seemed to be much more subdued and thoughtful than the rambuncous South. It might simply be because of the difference in my social surroundings between to the places, but I’m ready to get back to the life of a Southern Dude.

Overall, it was a great summer and an unforgettable experience, but I’m glad to be back in Dallas surrounded by all of my friends and family once again. I’ve always kind of kept to myself but I don’t know that it’s worth going off all on your own to chase a dream when you have no one to share your pleasure with. I think this summer has taught me a lot about software, Microsoft, business in general, and also a lot about myself.
