Hot Hot Hot!
My company made news for the second day in a row! Con Edison broke their record load yesterday, and again broke their record today. Why? Because it's so hot (high of 96° F in NYC today), and everyone is cranking up their air conditioners to try to beat the heat.
This didnt really affect me at work, where I was working in the lab (except I was kind of hurting the situation by enjoying the air conditioning. I'm excited though, because tomorrow I'm supposed to be working specifically on my project that was assigned to me for the summer (most days I just help the lab run smoothly, but sometimes I do get to work on "my" project. I'm still a bit anxious about it, since I have to write a paper for the 3B program, and I'll end up also giving a presentation at MIT on what I did (I'll let you know when the presentation is), and I'm just not confident in my report writing skills (after all these years at MIT!) Well, we'll see what happens.
Not much else going on. I've got a combination of feelings in me right now. Part of me wants to go back to school right now (mostly for all the fun stuff: setting up my room, meeting new people, enjoying pre-classes time at school with all my old and new friends, etc.), but I also know that with going back comes leaving behind my family again, which I have done before, but it's always weird leaving, plus classes are also making me nervous, because i have a feeling they're gonna be tough this year. Well, we'll see. I've started to ramble. That's my cue to leave.
