and much more! CRAZY! Can you believe it? I always imagined a job fair to have small local companies like Dunder Mifflin paper company or Bob's Discount Furniture. But wait, I forgot (and I still forget), I'm at Olin!
So it was a dress up day (well, for most people) which I always like. Wearing a suit makes things fun. And feel like MUN. Which I actually find myself remeniscing about with other people who did it here. Each company had a booth all over the Academic Center, and they were all trying to catch the smartest people with the best past research experiences by throwing freebees at them. Mugs, high quality frisbees, bags, USB hubs, Screwdriver sets, ping pong balls, magnets, and other unnecessary crap! Unfortunately for me, the extent of my research experience has been the extended essay, where I investigated the relationship between angle of attack of an airfoil and the resultant lift force.
So I gave my resume to Aurora Flight Sciences, Textron, and for the hell of it, Bose. Besides that, nothing interested me too much. I'm trying to find an internship for the summer that has something to do with aerospace engineering. The guy I was talking to from Textron was very nice and seemed kind of interested, and he made my face light up when he said that Textron owns Cessna.
!!!
How cool would it be to intern at Cessna over the summer? I'm going to be starting my flying again pretty soon (heading over to Hanscom Field to set up some lessons tomorrow afternoon I think), and so far, the only kind of airplane with a propeller that I've flown or flown in has been a Cessna 172. So I'll gladly work for Cessna, even if it is in Middle of Nowhere, USA. I mean Kansas.
Anyways, I became a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics today. As in, I paid 20 dollars and now they're going to send me some stuff. But what I'm really in it for is to find internships and possibly found a chapter of the AIAA here at Olin, so I can look somewhat decent to a future employer.
Well, I have a Modeling and Simulation project due tomorrow, and my partner is nowhere to be found. I better get going on trying to get our code to work.
Adios.

This is great! I hope you get the internship at Textron before the last week of July...myes. I want to spend time in the US with a crazy monkee. That is YOU.
Lovin' the self portrait.
Missin' you terribly <3
Chris -- I just read through all your posts. I hope you keep this blog up because I am enjoying it. Sounds like you are slowly making the adjustment. And that design class sounds so cool.
