I started back at L-3 again 2 Mondays ago. It's been pretty sweet so far. All of the interns who started with me on Monday became friends almost immediately (which isn't saying much on my part because I was already friends with 3 of the 4). Unfortunately, none of the interns from last year came back except for me. Anyway, I working on a new project ( Read more... )

I suppose I should update because I should have a couple times and because it's been a while. Begining of May was SAC for IEEE. Rowan won 4 awards. It was a pretty good experience. The Monday after it was the ROV competition. We did really good except for the hydrophone which the wire came undone ( Read more... )

Thursday was IEEE's SPAC. I had to do a lot of planning and stuff for it and as the day came closer, I was feeling more and more stressed. The actual event ran very well. The first speaker was Pat Sherlock from L-3. He did a great job and had a lot of interesting things to say. I wasn't able to stay for the second speaker because I had a test in ( Read more... )

Last night, Todd was going to a birthday party for his friend Katie and he asked me if I wanted to go. We met up with Todd's friends Drew, Yan, Ola, Mayfield, and Katie at a pub by the USP campus. It was a pretty good time. Another pretty cool thing was I was only drinking Coke and I was the "designated driver" so the bartender didn't charge me for ( Read more... )

I'm going to start by saying that I have been having a really crappy day and it is all because of engineering clinic. First, we got our progress report paper back and we got dicked over with our grade. Next, we were testing the truss we have been working on most of the semester and we found some major problems with it (This project by the way is a ( Read more... )

There are 2 full weeks before finals start. Kinda scary thought. However, finals shouldn't be too bad this year for me because I only have 2. The kicker is that those 2 classes are Physics and Networks. At least I should have plenty of time to study for them.

This morning started off with me laying in my bed. I sat there for a second and wondered, "Hmmm...my alarm hasn't gone off yet. What time is it?" Normally, my alarm was set for 8:20 so i could get up and eat before my 9:25 Networks class. It was about 9:45. After shouting some profanity, I quickly got up, got changed, brushed my teeth, ran out the ( Read more... )

Today was the last day of my internship. It was relieving, but kinda sad at the same time. It was still good though. I definately benefitted from it. Ironically, I got my secret security clearance today. Oh well, I will have for next time ( Read more... )

On Friday I went camping/whitewater rafting with my boy scout troop. It was really cool, espicially because it was my first time doing it. In out boat, it was me and Matt, my cousins and my uncle, and the Sapienzas. We were kinda unorganized and we got stuck on rocks a good amount of times. One time Nolan actually went flying out of the raft. It ( Read more... )

So I had my first day of my internship today. It wasn't too interesting though. Basically, I had to go through all the orientation stuff today. Getting up at 5:40 AM isn't much of a picnic either. Everyone seems really nice there though, which is really cool. And of course my dad is there too, so if I need him i can always walk down the aisle of ( Read more... )
