Nothingness
I really have nothing to do with my life. I need a purpose of some sort other than work. School was so all consuming, and all inclusive. Work is not. Well, it is pretty much all consuming while you are there, but it's not your whole day. I really need something else to keep me occupied, espeically on the weekends. I've been doing a lot of shopping to keep me occupied, but really after a while it's not that much fun. Especially when all i really want is a house, and stuff to put in the house. But I don't really want stuff to put in my appartment that I have to move. I wish I could just afford a house now, but that would mean that I'd have to pay off all of my credit card bill. Which is slowly decreasing btw. Yeah for getting out of debt.
Talking to one of the ladies at work, and she told me that she paid for her whole way through school, and it was so great that she was out of debt. All I could think about was how much she must have missed out on because she was working so much. She also didn't go to a super excellent university -- some itty bitty state school around Rochester. Yes she did do something great financially, but socially, academically, mentally did she make the right choice? It makes me sad that people don't all have the same opportunities (not that I think everyone deserves to go to MIT). I guess it is one way to do it.
I've really realized at work how different education really does make a difference. It seems like many of the people who went to small little state schools are doing the more menial monkey work. And those who went to better universities are doing higher level work. I guess that also translates to the engineers vs. non-engineers though too. All the engineers seem to have gone to better schools. Yeah for engineering!
Oh and I found out that my boss actually lived in the frat house across from Myles when he was at MIT. WORD!
My boss is starting to trust my judgement as I'm getting better at doing everything. It's nice. Yeah for people telling me I'm doing a good job.
On a work/engineering related note I've really started getting interested in Color Science. It's really a cool thing. I think I'm going to try to find a good book on it. The one my boss has, ironically, has no color in it. The cover is even in black and white. HA!
