get an internship

Got it 2 weeks ago

Heck yeah, it looks like I’ll be able to complete every single goal I had on my list of things I will do differently in Grad School! I’ve just set up an interview with a company that almost exactly matches my career interests in the transportation field. I’m excited to start too.

study and/or do homework with study partners at least once a week

Technically yes, completely no 2 weeks ago

Each quarter during in my classes I had at least one big project in at least one class where I had to work with classmates to get the job done. It was challenging of course since we were all still learning the material in the class, yet in the end we got the stuff done.

However, I still don’t think I really learned how to perfectly coordinate with a group to efficiently get everything done. It seemed like each group had a different style of getting stuff done, sometimes I was the unofficial leader, other times a minion. In the future in the working world, I sure hope that I can figure out how to efficiently work with others because I just dread having to do things over because of poor group coordination.

drink no alcohol 3 weeks prior to finals (read all 5 entries…)

Success! 3 weeks ago

For a whole three weeks, numerous trips to bars, and several offers of beer I have managed to avoid alcohol for the three weeks prior to finals. I think that it helped me stay focused on academics and also forced me to be more social while not being intoxicated which is challenging.

I’m drinking again now, but it seems like I’m drinking less than before and I’m choosing a little higher quality beer such as Fosters over PBR. Overall, I think that staying below drunkenness is a better way to experience life anyways since the experience isn’t altered and since no raging hangover awaits you the next day.
