Congratulations Mike!

It looks like my best friend Mike landed himself a sweet job at Electronic Arts in Vancouver for the next 8 months. It’s crazy how fast things can change. I’m sure Mike will be able to turn this opportunity into a career if he so chooses. Even since I can remember Mike has been talking about how he’s going to be a game developer when he “grows up” it’s awesome that it’s actually happening for him now, especially with such a large and well respected company. It kind of makes me wonder if I’ll ever really see Mike again. I can somehow see him finishing up his degree in Vancouver and starting his dream career down there.

But it’s funny how things work out… I first met Mike in preschool when I was 3 years old, after that he moved to another part of Regina and we went to different schools in Kindergarden. Simply by conscience )(or was it…) my family built a house and moved to where we live today, which is also a 5 minute walk from Mike’s house. If we hadn’t moved, there’s a good chance I would have never seen Mike again. Who knows, maybe Mike will stay in Vancouver, start up his career, and a few years down the road I”ll get an engineering job down there.

Anyway, best of luck Mike!
