Challenge accepted! (aka norcal, day... 6?)

First and foremost, before I write anything else, my ego demands that I note my compliment-incompatibility. Story behind this revelation? Well. Today during lunch, since nothing else seemed appetizing, I went and got my food from the same Mexican station I went to yesterday. The same cute guy who was working there looked at me, smiled, and was like "Hey! Nice to see you again! You came yesterday and got... a burrito, right? See, I remembered! I remember all the beautiful ones." -cue smile- By that time he was done with my food, so I kinda laughed, then took it and ran away. Good response! Except inside I pretty much melted into a giggling schoolgirl....

My inability to take compliments is probably an issue. I'm so embarrassing. XD

Anyway! Enough with my ego (what a way to return to blogging...). As anyone can tell, I've pretty much abandoned this blog until now... but then why am I back? Two primary reasons! One, I need something to do during my lunch breaks at work and my free time at home, and two! Caronee has promised to write an entry every time she sees me post something, and I decided to accept the challenge!

So here I am, with all my rambling thoughts relatively intact, wondering what I should begin word-vomiting about. I supposed I'll just start with Norcal!

So this is the 6th day I've been here, and the 3rd day of my internship! Nothing much has happened, to be completely honest. My life is pretty boring. My parents were with me over the weekend and we set up the apartment, but come Monday I was all alone. My apartment is really big... but really sad.. I was talking to another new hire, and we both got super excited because we both only had a mattress in our apartments. HAHA He said it kind of made us seem like serial killers... Ah well. At least I have a table and a desk lamp and cooking ware too.

As for the internship... well, it's only the 3rd day, but already people have been throwing information at me: acronyms I don't understand, vocab I don't understand, vocab that i vaguely recognize and should probably understand better, names, faces... it's all been thrown! It sounds like I have a gigantic project in front of me... and that I'll be utilizing what meager EE skills I have. I hope I remember things from 6.003 still, cause there seems to be a lot of signal processing going on. >_> I also need to learn a couple of programming languages on the fly... Hooray!

I kinda wish I was at Santa Clara.... I really miss the friends I made during my internship there last year. Now that we're all on the same work network, we kinda chat from time to time, but still! I miss those hot chocolate breaks. :(

It's kinda lonely here since I have no friends. T__T Also, if I wind up living alone when I actually start out in the real world, I am getting some form of a dog, because it is sad just living alone.

However!!!! In three weeks or so J will be coming back from overseas, and he said he's gonna drive up and spend time with me right after he gets back! I'm so excited!! Course, before then I have to deal with three weeks of essentially no contact at all... but I guess what with work and studying for the GRE (I hate life.), I should have more than enough things to keep me busy. I miss him a ridiculously large amount, and sometimes I wish I could just curl up next to him in bed and cuddle the day away. :( It also completely sucks when you're long distance and PMSing... Seriously, fuck hormones. I am definitely not this whiny/clingy normally...

On a completely different note, I am so excited to watch the new Korra episode this Saturday. It's really sad how excited I am. I'm also pretty excited for Young Justice! Saturday has become cartoon day all over again! Except now I'm 20 with a job, and not in elementary school. Hahaha....

Whoops. There goes lunch break. Here's your diary entry, Caronee. XD Back to work I gooooooo!
