(no subject)
I got hungry, so I'm snacking on peanuts. Haha, pretty random, I know.
So, what's new? Been so tired, I've been wasting away in front of the TV watching the "Real Housewives of Orange County". Yeah, gag me but it's a form of entertainment. Playing in traffic really wears a girl out. =Þ Spent all day yesterday out in the field, watching traffic and fixing 2 traffic signals, then tweaking the timing to make sure the platoon of cars would get through the intersection and the minor streets weren't staying green for long periods of time with no cars zipping by. Fun times.
It's funny that I actually know more about timing than I give myself credit for. My senior project really geared me up for moments like these. I can feel myself learning so much within a matter of days and weeks... crazy. But seriously, I know how these devices work like the back of my hand. Mostly because I spent most of my life watching my dad, but also because I studied it in my own way during college. I made my own "brain" to control the traffic signals on my annoying little model, I did this, I did that... and it really did tie into real-life later. Strange feeling. I'll write more later when my brain is actually on...
