Well, I have to say, one problem with work is that I have to get up in time to catch the 5:20 AM train. And then take that train, then the subway, then walk to get to work, which all in all adds up to a 2+ hours commute. Boo. But my job is pretty cool. I work at the Cable and Splice Center for Excellence, a part of the energy company, Con Edison. The first link is actually just a report I found online, I can't actually find an official website for that part of the company, because it's relatively new. Hahah, I love the name though. It makes me feel special. center for EXCELLENCE. yay. Anyway, it seems really cool, because I get to do stuff that pertains to a lot of different majors besides Materials Science. Don't get me wrong, I love course 3, but I guess I like that there's a lot of different aspects of it, like the Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering type stuff I'll get to do.
One of my friends/classmates actually was an intern at this company last year. She, a guy, and I worked on a project together that I think is pretty cool. It was for 3.042, Materials Project Lab. Check out our project! It's about 3D printing (very cool stuff).
Well, believe it or not, it's just about 8:30 pm, but I should probably get to bed so that I can get enough sleep. haha, oh well. I hope all of your summers are going well. Let me know what you're up to!
