Here’s what I’ve been up to this and last week and other sturf.
School: My final exams are this week and for once I not a bit nervous or worried about them at all. My grades are the best they’ve ever been in the years I’ve spent in college.
Work: As I’ve mentioned a few time, I’ll be beginning my first ever summer internship the week after finals. I’ll be an Engineering Intern at Futuris Group: An Australian born company that moved to the US because of the eradication of the Australian car manufacturing business. They do automotive interiors for Tesla (Model S, X, and the upcoming 3). This summer is going to be incredibly tough and busy, but it is exactly what I wanted.
BoI (Best of Instagram):
Here’s one of my favorite IG pictures I’ve taken. I like to call it “Biden and his Bodyguards” .
Car Things:
My three damaged wheels were shipped back and are to be replaced with new ones that should arrive tomorrow. Which means I should be able to finally install my summer set tomorrow as well! This is the longest I’ve had winter tires on a car (Nov-May), and it’ll be nice to enjoy a drive without the thought of tire tread and compound in the back of my mind. LMR’s customer service is top notch! Better than I expected with no hassles or complaints.

Also replaced my muffler delete exhaust with a Gibson catback and it’s the bestest Boostang exhaust IMO.

Life Sturf:
I have a new therapist and so far I’m feeling good about this one after our first meeting.
I’ve been having much internal conflict about what I sense around me with my “opened” eyes to how the world and people work after last weekends realization. Often find myself monologuing internally and debating (over analyzing) things as they come and go. I’m inside my head a lot.
I’m often “haunted” by memories of past screw ups and mistakes (friendships, relationships and that stuff) that jump into my trains of thought from time to time that make me feel bad about how I could’ve done things differently, even to benefit me better. Hindsight certainly is 20/20, but it’s also kind of a dick of a teacher.
Since deactivating Facebook, things have been stagnate or meh. Still kinda don’t have much of a social life nor have I found any new people yet. I find myself curious as to what’s going on around the website but I reckon it’s nothing important or worthwhile. No one’s contacted me or gotten in touch with me for anything, oh well. Feeling alone kinda sucks but I’m used to it.
That’s all I have for now, thank you kindly for reading. To whomever is going to the MI Oppo Meet this upcoming Saturday, I’ll see you there at some time.

told ya you’d work through it.
As I’ve mentioned a few time, I’ll be beginning my first ever summer internship the week after finals.
internships and co-op jobs are (IMO) at least as important as the degree in determining how likely you’ll find a job post-graduation. Worked for me.

But it took 2.5-3 years to get to that point...
I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, being the only person I know who’s not had any engineering field experience until now. It’s about time.

That internship is key. I had one between junior and senior year and it opened up lots of opportunities for me.

Congrats on landing that internship. The experience is really going to help you once you start looking for a work. I couldn’t find work for a while because I never got my GPA past 3.0 until my 5th year which meant no internships and just Baja SAE experience.
More importantly, the work experience will help loads once you make it out in the real world. You’ll see how people truly are and you’ll have an idea of what to say/not say and read situations. A lot of my coworkers are college kids fresh out of school with nothing but research and I’ve seen them put their foot in their mouths.
Try to get something going with your social life because it could open some interesting doors down the line. I actually landed my current job when I finally took my friend up on his offer after he spent a year recruiting me to his company, just as the shit at my then-job hit the fan.

I hope this internship is the start or something new and positive.
I haven’t found a place where I fit in with other people that benefits me, frustrating and difficult.

The engineering world is full of “weirdos” who make me look normal by comparison. Your employer knows what to expect out of an intern, so all you have to do is learn everything engineering and some of the stuff applicable to life.
Fitting in is something that happens in its own weird way/shape/form. My last company had an older staff, but I eventually fit in with the rest of them.
