Whew! Finally, this term is over and I am free for the summer! Well, mostly.

Grades haven’t come out yet but I think that things went fairly well. I’m not pleased with how some of my finals went, but I was so burned out by the end that I think I did the best I could at the time. This was a really rough term and I’m frankly glad that it’s over, though there were a lot of good moments too.

Now, for the summer! I’ll be working full-time to help me save up for my China/Japan trip. We’re supposed to rotate positions within our IT department every six months with our intern program, but I’ll be keeping mine through the end of summer. They figured it wouldn’t be worth it for me to take a new job for three months and leave. I’m excited about that, because the group that I’m in right now (Database Administration) is full of really fun and supportive people and I really like the work that I’m doing. I’m especially happy because being able to devote all of my attention to my work projects is going to make them go a lot faster. I’ve basically been doing the same two projects for the last six months, which is OK considering how little time I’ve been able to spend on them, but now I’ll actually be able to finish them off and move on to bigger and better things.

My schedule is set up so that I have Mondays off and work extra long days on the other four. I need that time to do administrative stuff to prepare for China/Japan (move my bank account to a new bank, check on some stuff with my mom’s insurance, make sure all my IDs are up to date, etc.). It’s still several months away, but the summer always does go by really quickly and there’s a lot left to do.

Well, congratulations to everyone who graduated this year… and happy summer!
