Today was a long day. Breakfast at the Marriott at 8 AM, and a whole day of presentations. The career fair seemed good. I talked to a few companies and gave out a few resumes (I forgot to bring resumes so I had to pay a few dollars to print off a few copies at a copy center). Attached is a picture from the window of the hotel room.

I need to get ready for tomorrow. I've got to get up early to hurry up and wait in line for picking seats at the keynote.
