Welcome back to Fall '09! Brace yourself, it's going to be insane!

I am still so proud of Arthur and Johnny for such an impressive senior design project. They set the standards high. I guess that means I need to start scheming early. :) This summer was unbelievable.

I loved every second of my internship with Lockheed. I learned so, so much, but it was really the people that made my experience so fantastic. If you want to hear more about my and others experiences, be sure to come to the Internship/Co-Op Discussion this semester!

The Spring semester is already over, and so are FINALS! The sad part is that
all of the seniors are graduating and we will miss them in fall. I will be moving
to NJ for the summer where I will be interning full time for Lockheed Martin as
well as some part time consulting work for Thill Logistics. Butttt...I will obviously
catch up on some much needed R & R before I leave for the summer. Looking
forward to getting to know all of the new students this fall!

I began my summer with an Amp/C-Step research program on Intelligent Photovoltaic Battery Chargers, followed by an internship at The Solar Energy Consortium on Solar LED Street Light Systems (and learning how to play one of the most frustrating sports: tennis). This fall will be busy with 18 credits, a seat on the student senate, SWE, tutoring and more!

This will be a very busy summer for me consisting of an internship/co-op, Calculus 3,
and some fun in the sun! I am looking forward to finally meeting the incoming
freshman in the fall, but until then enjoy every second of your summer!

I'll see you in the Fall!
