Settling In

Today, I looked into prominent companies within the Bay Area. I would really like to work for a start-up tech company next summer although I'm not sure what recruiters are looking for. I'm actually really worried about how this summer is going to turn out. I'm supposed to be doing research for one of my professors but so far, I haven't really done anything productive. Well, I suppose you have to learn the basics before you an really contribute anything. I did get my keys today and got a research paper to read through before my next meeting.

I just feel like I have too much time to spare. I've just started reading a book on Java so my goal is to learn that over the summer, and maybe Ruby too. I think it'd be really cool if I were able to make my own Android application or something like that. I'm also thinking about what you need to do to set yourself apart from other applicants to get an internship.

I've just declared my CS minor but I might be double majoring in CS and EE. But maybe I'm not so good at either. I'm very unsure with my life right now. Anyways, I'm going to try to barrel through this reading that my professor gave me. Lots of terminology and unfamiliar jargon that I'll have to search on Google, I guess.

Since I feel like I have so much time to spare, should I sign up for a class? Although classes have already started, my CS professor had been asking his students to sign up for a course on computer organization and architecture. It sounds interesting, but they've already had one class. Hm. Their next class is on Tuesday. Should I take it? I kind of want to since I want to be more busy. It's only a 6 week course though, meaning that there are 12 classes, and I've already missed one of them. Well. If I'm seriously considering it, I should email my professor and ask whether it's worth it, I guess? I wonder if it's a lot of work. OK, I checked the rating site, and it seems like EE357 is the same as EE352? I think I want to take it.

And that's how I'm going to finish off my blog post! What a good way to waste time! I need to clip my fingernails. Typing on this keyboard is annoying. Whew!

If it's too whiny, you should tell me and I'll try to improve my blog posts.
