School's out for the summer! :D

I took my last final yesterday and destroyed it! Fuck you, mechanical systems! And I just finished my last assignment, a lab in systems engineering. I designed a "linear quadratic regulator state feedback controller," which is just about as complicated as it sounds.

I've had poor luck finding an internship for this summer, or, rather, I've had poor luck finding an internship for soon for this summer! Since most schools let out in mid-June, most companies don't expect people need a reply until then. So if any of you have connections with engineers in the Seattle area, please hook me up!

I am almost done packing my room and preparing for the 1,200 mile trip back home. Okay, by almost done packing, I mean I still have a gigantic pile of clothes/costumes/stuff in the middle of my room that I cannot stand trying to sort into boxes anymore. I have successfully stored most of my stuff in dorm storage, but I still have my fridge and a few miscellaneous items (bedding, sports clothes, etc) to pack in there. The rest of my stuff somehow needs to fit in the trunk of my Toyota Corolla. It won't be pretty, but I think I can manage it with some sweat, blood and a few animal sacrifices.

Unfortunately, I fell rather burnt out and exhausted, so my creativity is at a low. So I think I'll rest for a bit and maybe do a blog on... idk, my art (?) later tonight.

Labs, disgusting. My type of engineering is a lot more fun. I happen to sit in front of the interface to my lab :D :D :D

i hate feedback, i don't understand that at all

one time i had a lab where we had to design feedback equations to balance a gyroscope
none of us knew what to do, it was already the 3rd week and none of the other groups knew what to do either.

i was like, whatever, let's just put in some random stuff and see what happens

i bruised my thumb trying to stop the thing from going out of control


i hate feedback

I have my last ever final in approximately 7 hours and 20 minutes. Total studying done: ~2 hours.

Someone really needs to re-think the whole "give seniors finals thing"

Edit: Most colleges get out around this time, at least on the East Coast/ the ones my friends have gone to further west. I cant think of a single school that gets out as late as June, let alone mid June.
