One year ago I arrived on campus around 7:45AM. The sun was shining and the air was crisp–perfect spring weather. I remember my first official site that morning was the golden dome, partially blocked by a residence hall and outlined by the perfectly blue sky. I remember the walk from the parking lot to the fifth floor of Grace Hall. I remember my stomach was a bit upset as I was nervous for my first day. Would I like my new job? Would I get along with my new co-workers? I can even remember wondering, as I have with every new job, if I would be skilled enough to complete the tasks assigned to me.
Well, that was a year ago. Now, which seems ten years since that day, all those questions have been answered. Not only do I love my job, but my co-workers have become my friends and I have not been assigned anything that I felt I was ill prepared for. In fact, when I look back at what I have learned and accomplished in the past year, I feel amazed and blessed. Not often do I find people who enjoy what they do for a living more than I do. So what have I done? Below is a list of projects that I developed over the past year at Notre Dame (all were designed by Jim).
On top of these eight completed works, I have three other projects which are 90% finished (Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Office of Student Affairs and the Sponsored Travel App), one (Dean’s List App) which is completed but not public, and several that I was involved in, but only played a small part. Considering the size of a few of these projects, it is pretty cool that I have averaged one project a month. Here’s to next year and what I hope will be many more after that! *Raises the horchata high*
