What Have I've Been Doing...

Is been a while since I posted. One would think free time would lead to more posts...My only rebuttal, I've been busy.

The first month of summer really flew by. Without being too productive, I manage to dabble away my time; sadly. Though, I did started my internship finally, so, I'll jump right into that.

I just finished up my second week interning at Morningstar (no not the food thing), though, I'm not necessarily a design intern, I work more on making the sketches possible for the web. I mainly sit at a desk troubleshooting some code. Is either gut out a page and put in the new layout, or troubleshoot across browser; IE6 is a terrible browser. It hasn't been too exciting, but at least is fun. I can't believe I already know so many people working there before I started, I would say I knew 5 people when I started. My manager is a Korean lady (she's from UIC, a lot of people are from UIC), and I had a funny thought in my head, I realize most of my major related jobs, my higher up is Korean; James in the B.A.T cave. Maybe I should pick up the Korean language on my spare time.

Some reflection on my internship. I'm definitely not familiar with having a 9-5 job, is odd, and strangely unbefitting of me. I doubt I'll continue with them after summer if an extension was offered. Not to say, is a bad place, the people I work with a great, I just can't see myself doing this day in and day out (DIDO I realize is an acronym for that, and it does play some relevance). Though, a lot of the coding and troubleshooting will help me out with my coding side of academia, I can't see myself flourishing there in a way I want to.

Though, I think I've integrated quite well into the group. Though, I've been working diligently at my desk, it seems today I've been told by the team I work at quite a quick pace. I was actually asking for work after my lunch break today. The product manager joked about me being half machine, though the sad part is, this isn't the first time I've been told that. However, next week will prove to be a week where I'll be put to the test.

One thing about working 9-5 offers me, is the alertness. I've actually been more productive when I get home when I'm normally do. Even though by productivity I mean play games, and by that I mean I take into consideration the time I have left and how many days I work factored by how many weekends I have to myself definitely helped pushed me along. I clocked in efficient hours on my RPG.

Speaking of which, Persona 4 is a nice game. Though as corny and cliche some of the plot and characters could be, it offer some nice insight on people. The game revolves around a murder mystery where people are thrown into a TV and later on turns up dead. The protagonist tries to foil the murderer by saving people in the TV. However, the victims are confronted with their true self; their dark side. Instead of brandishing something as evil and bad, and must be dealt away with. The victims learn to accept their flaws, as by denying oneself of who they are, they will be thrown into peril. Yes, is cliche, but I like it, so, boo to you.

Saw Up on opening day. Great movie. Though, I didn't cry during the movie, I was really touched; they were getting there though. I'm always a sap for sentimental movies. Even though I didn't talk about it when it came out, I'm sure most people saw it and loved it. No need to expand.

I really don't know what more to talk about, but I'm getting a new bike tomorrow. Hopefully, I find one I like.
