Robots Don’t Sleep

Today officially marks two quarters left until I graduate. Six more months ’til I’m on my own, and it’s pretty scary. However, these final months in school are going to be pretty much a cakewalk because I’m only taking 12 or so credit hours in each one. Right now I’m at the same time thankful for the credits that successfully transferred to Neumont, and also resentful because of all the credits that just got washed down the drain. Wasted time, wasted money. It makes me realize how quickly I could have graduated had all my credits transferred. I guess it’s all for the better, though. I’m reluctant enough as it is right now to graduate.

Getting back into the groove seems so strange after only four weeks off. When I think about it, my brain feels so empty and it feels like some of the skills I’ve gained have slipped through my fingers. However, once I start working on something, it all comes back in a flash. Strange but true.

I’m working in downtown Salt Lake City this quarter for Enterprise Projects. I’m really excited about this one. Hopefully the project that I get to work on is fulfilling and challenging. The company itself seems pretty cool, but I’m just praying for a strong leader. I wouldn’t be able to handle a repeat of last quarter’s NORMA experience. Ambiguous tasks and no direction whatsoever… two things that I hate in projects.

Also, Austin was great! I had a great time, got to meet some interesting people, and was able to see some old friends from school. It was well worth it. However, over this Winter break I ate entirely too much delicious food and tasted a wide range of new beers. It’s time to get back on the diet and get rid of what’s been building up from four weeks of indulgence.
