So I'm considering whether or not I'll make my Facebook profile public. I found out that Vertech checked on it, but couldn't read anything interesting. I guess my Facebook would neither hurt nor help my case... unless they have a problem with my political views being "solipsism".
I have been having really adventurous dreams lately... and one nightmare. Night-terrors aside, I haven't had a normal nightmare since I was like 7 years old. The only thing I can think to attribute it to is the lack of exercise I've been getting. I'm going to start jogging on a t-mill every evening for 10 minutes right after work.
But it means I'm gonna want to get a mp3 player... because treadmills are about as boring as watching soundless television and listening to people pant nearby. I don't want to jog outside because I don't quite like the AZ heat yet. This dryness is going to take a while to get used to still. Someone told me to drink two water bottles every 3 hours I spend outside.
I haven't actually bought a commercial electronic from a vendor for maybe 2 years. I don't actually know what good prices on mp3 players are. I'm a computer engineer, not a computer trend-watcher. Knowing about the latest gadgets doesn't benefit me directly unless I have a schematic for them or know I can afford them... at least, so I thought.
I really didn't want to spend money on that kind of stuff, though. I can't imagine myself using an MP3 player productively at LeTU. Nearly the only time I'm bored enough to want one is when I'm stuck in class for hours on end, trying to cope with the way I'm expected to learn while sitting still forever.
The player would be nice if I'm working on any long-hour projects in the panel shop, but I keep getting mixed signals on how long I have left working in the shop, and I don't want to be in the habit of wearing earbuds if I'm about to learn something complex.
I think I offended both my bus-drivers. Idek how to respond to them anymore. It's like they both just really need someone to talk to, and I'm the only person stuck in the car with them regularly enough to get to know them well enough to hear about their thoughts. However, I'm not well enough acquainted with either of them to be hearing that nonsense about how I should move in with whats-his-face next year. I told him that I'm getting married, which should have translated to "no way", but he said "great! So you can get married and split rent with me!". ... ...... oh well. I only have about 2.5 more months of "mmhmm"ing and "oooh"ing it. I've endured much worse in the past.

I haven't blogged in a while now. It's not that I've been terribly busy -- I guess I could say I'm just not 100% comfortable in my new environment yet.
The internship has been going great! Vertech just wrapped up a contract which was rather stressing. I'm working on the manufacturing end -- which means analyzing the panel schematics, redlining, and then building them. I'm trying to put my all into this internship, but sometimes they run out of stuff for me to do. I get a little bit flustered when I'm not busy. A bittersweet solution to my spare-time involves my next assignment. Sometime next week or the week after, I will be moved over to design. It's gonna be great to work with Vertech schematics instead of others, but I've never used AutoCAD for anything. I have been studying it off and on in my spare time to get ready. I think I cannot be completely effective in it until I've actually applied it once... but I'm becoming familiar with all the functions available. I'm kinda nervous.
Vertech seems like a great place to work. The people are pretty nice; they enjoy their jobs; they take pride in what they do, and they seem to value their integrity a lot. Also, a job with PLCs is kindof a dream job for me. Vertech seems ideal. I just hope I can do well for them and be profitable as an intern somehow.
