Information Overload...

So, today was the first day of work. It was definitely a lot of learning, and not sure how much of retaining. But, I can really see myself learning a lot from this internship, not that I didn't learn a lot from my previous internship, but, this will be more appropriate, and more applicable.

But, enough of that, so, I can only use the internet for work purposes at the office, which I think is a good training for me, considering how much time I wasted while using the Internet without restrictions.

So, I have a huge paper to read and understand for work tomorrow.

So, I'm really getting my pined-for way of life. Wake up early in the morning, go to work, then to gym, then dinner, then internet/tv. pretty robotic, pretty boring? I like it.

Also, I learned about how far and how much time typical Americans travel to go to work. Unless you are staying in the city, typically, people drive more than an hour to go to work. And that's just moving traffic, translating to 40-50 miles (60-80 KM) one way!!! (they wake up really early to beat the traffic). No kidding!

Also, the house I'm living in now is really funky. The water heating system is solar-powered, and also, there's solar panel on the roof to charge up some batteries for some percentage of energy used in the house. I have a really large room to myself, but it's kinda an old house, but it's a nice house with 2 cats, and the house owner!

Also, I forgot to talk about my trip to Cedar Point last Friday. It was really fun! I enjoyed it a lot, until the last ride, Max Air, where I got a little nauseous after the ride. The most fun one was definitely the Top Thrill Dragster, where it sped from 0 to 120 miles per hour in less than 4 seconds, and it got above 400 feets off the ground, and the it was really thrilling. We did 8 rides in our 5 hours there, and I got sun-burned and was pretty red, like a cooked-crab. It was really a lot of fun, thanks Alex and Joe for making this trip possible! So, Cedar Point is at Sandusky, OH, which was actually on my way from Ann Arbor, MI to Worcester, MA. So, the very next day, I took the very same route for the first 2 hours of my driving.

So, that's about it... have fun!

It's Roller Coasters time...

So, I'm pretty much all set and ready to go to Worcester, MA to start my internship on Monday. But, because my roommates and I planned to go to Cedar Point in the summer, we decided to go there today.

I won't be bringing my camera because I'll be taking all those crazy rides. I won't be bringing my cellphone either, because I'll be taking all those crazy rides. :)

So, I'll be back tonight at about 8-9pm, then, I'll pretty much load the car with all those bulky but inexpensive items, and will wake up bright and early tomorrow and hit the road at 6am.

As I don't have a Canadian visa, I'll have to take a 'detour' to Ohio and stay in the US for my entire drive to Worcester, MA (making it a 12+ hours drive), instead of the cut through Canada 9+ hours drive.

I've burned some mix cd for the long drive too, but for some reason, my dvd burner died on me. I had to burn some disc using computer in the library.

So, that's about it. My next post will most likely be posted on Sunday, or late Saturday when I'm in Worcester, MA.

Take care and have fun....
