Finals Stress and Summer Adventures
It's been a month since I last wrote in here, so I guess I might as well update this while I wait for my videos to upload onto my computer.
In case you haven't heard the news... IT'S SUMMERTIME!!! I'm loving summer so far. I didn't get the Rochester IT internship, so I don't have that to look forward to, but that just means I can plan other things that would be much more fun (though perhaps not as beneficial to my career).
The last few weeks of spring quarter were absolutely nuts. My parents and aunt from Baltimore came up to RIT one weekend for the Imagine RIT festival. I had a great time, but it meant that I was forced to write 2 essays in 2 days. Not fun. There was also spring fest weekend and just sunny weather in general that made it so I was constantly up until 2am every night doing homework.
One of the major projects this quarter was our group programming project. My group created a sick (crazy awesome) battleship game, but we probably spent 30 or more hours programming just in the final four days before the project was due. I don't recommend that to anybody.
Other than work, most of my free time was spent cooking at BBQ's and doing running club stuff. I'm glad to be home, though. I think my summer eating habits are much worse than my college eating habits--I don't want to know how many times I'll be going to Dairy Queen in the next three months! (Twice and counting so far.)
Last week was rather boring because it was spent mostly unpacking and relaxing at home. I've been doing a lot of bike riding with friends and going out late at night doing random things. I never thought college would change my sleep schedule so much--I've consistently found myself going to bed at 2am, even on days where I've had to wake up at 6:30am for work. Not good. Last weekend I was out until 4am or so... for some reason, mom felt it necessary to cook breakfast at 9 in the morning.
Summer will definitely not be too boring this year. Today, my friend and I went hiking in the State College area and walked around Penn State for awhile. I'm getting extremely excited for Anaheim in June, too. A few friends and I will also be running the Boilermaker 15k in July--it's a 10,000+ people race that's held in Utica, NY (about 4 hours from here). It's probably the biggest/best 15k race in the United States. I'm also going to a Pirates baseball game and O.A.R. concert in August!
Besides enjoying summer, I'm working for dad again and also working at Crosscutters. I'll be sure to keep this updated at least monthly, just like I've been trying to do.
Until next time!
