Well for the rest of the week I just finished up Chris's drawings, and then started working on some different ones for a guy named Chuck. His drawings required a different part of the PCAD software, known as PCB. Mainly because the drawings from him involve multiple layers (they're board layouts) and you can't just copy and paste.
I pretty much did his drawings all day Friday. It was hard to find him because he was installing alarms or something around the building, but in the mean time I figured out where we get supplies which I was in desperate need of.
Well thats about it! |

Well my co-op advisor guy advised me that it may be good to write down some of the stuff that goes on at my job so whenever I have to write my end of the semester report it will be easier. Plus I never update this thing anyways, so why not?
SOoooo day 1.
I thought for sure I was going to be late. But I actually go there on time. Bruce (my supervisor) showed me around the engineering and where my cubicle was. I HAVE A NAME PLATE! idk...I just found that cool. Then he got me started learning P-CAD which is a lot like the PSPICE program we learn in 210, just...better. So for a couple of hours he showed me the basics and just kinda did a some little demonstrations. Then he brought me one of his old drawings and let me draw it in the computer using P-CAD. It took pretty much all of yesterday. Granted the programs are pretty much the same, but there were a lot of components I didn't know their names or how to find them in the libraries, so I'd have to ask everytime, or ask how certain things should actually be connected. But it was cool because he'd come over and show me and actually explain what was going on in the circuit so I was learning at the same time. And that was really really neat.
I also met 2 of the 3 girls (ladies) that work in the engineering department. (one is on vacation). They're really nice and I have lunch with them now so thats cool. Little girly talk, gossip, whatnot. One lady, Michelle is really helpful and friendly. And the other (can't remember her name right now) is just a good conversationalist.
that was pretty much day 1. Day 2 wasn't too bad either. I figured out if I get there by 730 I get to leave at 4. So I did that today. I finished up my drawing from yesterday after Bruce made me revise it probably 5 or 6 times. But I know he was just emphasizing how important it is to get the drawings right because they really are the basis for everything else. Errors MUST be caught at that level or it can cost a lot. It took me all the way up to lunch to finish that.
After lunch I started block diagrams for an old co-op (whos now working as an engineer), Chris Burtka. His project is rebuilding/revising something or other but we have to update the user manuals as well, which is where the blcok diagrams come into place. I spent the rest of the day doing those. They aren't hard, but i'm building one from scratch so its just time consuming to make sure everything looks nice.
Bruce said today that he's so picky about things because I may not realize it now but these drawings are going to represent me even 20 years from now. All of this stuff is a lot like art is how he put it and thats really really cool because my artistic side is finally being noticed (he pointed it out to me) So thats exciting because I love design and this job is really fun right now.
Except for getting up early :P |

| An Entry about Being Happy |

What a real entry???
Yea...you know...thats how I do.
Anyways...I kinda stole this on off of Erica. Her talking about how even though she is still working at the same place, still going to the same school, all that...she's happier now.
For some reason, I've been really happy lately. Not worrying about stuff thats been plaguing me the past couple months, and actually enjoying stuff!
I don't really know why. If anything, I've been dealing with a lot of things both personally and at school and such, but I've really had a peace about everything lately. That hey, maybe God still is out there looking out for me. It just seems like if things are supposed to work out, they have been for me lately. I can't get into a lot of details of course, but its really amazing to see God work in my life again. Not that He ever stopped I guess, but its cool to realize that it never did stop. I just stopped looking.
Anyhow, I had my first professional interview ever. Also thought I was going to throw up for the first time in a long time. I was that neverous. But everything seemed to go great, I'll find out later this week if they are going to offer me a job or not.
Other than that...ya know, I'm just Laura Lou. :)
Cya all around!

| Woah! An update (I know...) |

Just a reminder I really don't write in here anymore...and I tried to go back and put all my entries on private but there is just way to many of them. So I stopped after my first day in college...cause anything before that...heck I don't even remember anymore...and I figure anything I wrote back then probably won't hurt anyone now like some of my other entries did.
Why not delete the whole thing? Well I like to keep it for commenting and reading and such, and every once in awhile I update for my own sake
Hope everyone is good :)

I know it was not the main topic of our conversation last night, but Amy made a lot of good points about the whole livejournal thing. I'll admit I got caught up in teh drama of other people's lives, but when your's feels horrible-reading about other people's problem is actually kind of nice. Its like a drug-do something bad to cover up something worse already present in your life.
So I'm writing this as my last entry, hopefully forever. I'm probably going to make the rest of my journal private, if I ever find the time. I already hear you asking "why not just delete it?" but I'm against destroying anything I've ever written - because at the time, its how I felt.
Lastly, I just want to say sorry to anyone I've hurt or offended in the past few months. I know just writing sorry on here probably doesn't cut it for an apology, so don't get annoyed at me if I say "I'm sorry" a million times more. Because I really am sorry. It sucks I had to learn my lesson this way, but it was probably the best way I could have, ya know?
So once again, I'm sorry. From now on if you wanna read about the ups and downs of my life you'll have to sneak into my bedroom (choose one) and find one of my many 1/2 completed journals wherever it may be (have fun).
As always,
smiles and hugs
~Laura~ |
