Gradumating!

Well, here I am, David, one take home final away from graduation.  I've already got a summer job lined up.  And ironically, I'm working at a job that I'm actually making less at than I did at the job I had in college!  I was working at the Bookstore, in the posh job of Sales Associate in the computer department, and riding high at 9.75 an hour.  Now I'm calling people and trying to get them to meet with their insurance agent, at 7.50 an hour. Well, they say that a bachelor's degree is the new High school diploma.  Guess I'm starting to agree with them.  After all, I did major in psychology...


The gay seal doesn't really care for my psychology degree very much.  But he'll get whats coming to him once I become a big bad lawyer, and I can sue for discrimination in internet memes.

Amanda however, has had a ton of good experience this year with a lot of practical stuff.  In mechanical engineering, you don't only learn about things but you actually do them.  She learned how to program, and made a basic calculator, she programmed a robot to rescue a toy, and her magnum opus was the pipsqueak engine that she and her team built.  


It's really cool, because they bought that material, and machined all of it themselves.  They essentially had several blocks of aluminum, steel and bronze, and they created that little machine.  I think it is really, really cool.  One day Amanda is going to change the world, and I'm glad I get to be around when that happens!
