In 2008 I found myself with a decent job at a decent little company making average money and working a reasonable amount of hours. I also found had lost interest in working a regular IT job. 

In 2003 I had applied to one of the few Renewable Energy programs in the US in 2003. I realized I was in no better position to go now than I was then. I had pretty much the same job that I had 5 years ago. If I wasn't happy now it wasn't going to happen while slugging it out in IT.  

Something clicked, and I decided to make the move. I began to try to put the pieces together and they began to fall into place. For the first time in years I was doing exactly what I should be doing, and it all just felt right. 

Yes I will miss people and places and actual income. I seem to be willing to take risks right now that I was not willing to face a few years back. Each obstacle that came up I found a way to get around it.

The Goal:

1 Quit Job.

2 Finish construction on my condo and find a quality renter. 

3 Apply and get accepted to San Juan College in Farmington, NM

So I am off from Boston, MA to Farmington, NM. 

Due to a schedule adjustment, my cross country drive was reduced from 3 weeks to 5 days. I will spare you the photos of the interstates at 80 mph.

   

This summer will be pre-requisite classes, Physics and DC Wiring. Most of my summer will be class, lab, study, then off to long bike ride or camping. The RE portion of the program will really begin in the fall.
