hey everyone! it's been forever... i have been hella busy. i had midterms starting 2 weeks before finals... so by the time i was done i had been taking exams for 3 weeks. not fun. i think i did pretty well on finals though; i definitely owned two of them. and i actually had fun taking one of them. it's fulfilling to see how much you've learned about something and what all you can accomplish, ya know? anyways... i also wrote the report on my research for the semester, and then the professor that i worked for decided that the work me and two other undergrads were working on wasn't beneficial enough to his business (which owns the rights to the research we do) and told us all not to work there anymore. i don't really care because it'll be easy to get into another group, but it's just disappointing when there is an educator that isn't at all interested in the education of undergrads. or the scientific community in general, because the stuff i was doing hasn't been done before, so it's important. whatever, he's a douche.
since school has ended i've basically been running a shit ton of errands. i've had so much to get done before saturday when i move up to michigan. i am getting excited, i think it's going to be very fun. my roommates seem cool (i have 3) and are willing to go camping with me, and the company has special programs for all the interns to get to know each other. there are 47 interns in my area . also, the work i'll be doing is product development which is way more exciting than process design. although i will get a bit of process design experience on a side project, which is good. i will try to update much more frequently about the goings on up in saginaw, and if anyone wants to come visit me, i'm sure alex would be pleased to have company.
