Tomorrow is the last day of work
8/18/2005
Tomorrow is my last day at work for the summer. Overall, I think I've learned a lot, probably about as much as I did at school my first year, and I think I can apply a lot of the stuff to my school work. I'm guessing this will make my programs for classes go a lot faster because I've learned better techniques for everything, especially debugging. It's nice to know I won't have anything at work to worry about for a while but in a way I don't really want to leave. The summer started out fast with the training at work and I made a few good friends during the long days and then when the real work started in the office I made another great friend. I guess it just sucks how I won't be able to see them anymore, maybe not ever again.
So obviously, I will miss being home. I'll miss those friends from work, friends from high school, and my family. Last summer I couldn't wait to get to school and do all the college stuff but now I don't really care that much. Of course I want to go back but I'm just not as enthusiastic about it as I was last year.
In lighter news, this past week has been pretty fun. Saturday and Sunday I went geocaching with my brother and dad a few times. We ended up finding one out of the 5 or 6 we went looking for. I guess we just suck at looking around for them. The GPS takes us to the right place but we can never find it. Monday I went to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with TJ, Ashley, and a friend from work and then went to a bonfire. The movie was pretty good and the temperature was perfect for the fire. I haven't done too much since then but the Cubs have been winning so it's all good.
Oh, and I think I figured out the reason that gas is so expensive now. They want to steal as much money as they possibly can from college kids and their parents when the drive back and forth from school. Thanks gas companies.
