Well, the summer is finally here and I'm out of school at last. My grades came out today. I'm pleased with them. I know that I could have done better in a few classes, but if I had worked harder in those classes, my other grades would have suffered. I pulled away with an A- in my tutoring class, for instance, and I could have gotten an A in it. Overall, I'm satisfied. I managed a B+ in my Biology and Discrete Math II classes. I definitely could have done better in the discrete math class. Biology was kind of a lost cause from the beginning. I feel I did well at the end.
The reason I'm confused is I don't know where I'm going to be living or what I'm going to be doing for the remainder of the summer. I have 3 internship possibilities. 1 is for a local company, INSEI. They are a nice company that deals a lot with nuclear waste management software. They are an independent software engineering business and they will produce any kind of application that anyone wants them to do. The Church is another employer that's interested in me. I sent them my resume and other information today, so we'll see what comes of that. The last company I have is USAA. This one is a company based out of San Antonio. It's a HUGE company. They are basically a financial institution for military personnel and their families. The office building I'd be working at is similar in size to the pentagon and the Sears tower. The campus is huge, and the benefits they offer are awesome. I would love to be a part of this company, but we'll see what happens.
Obviously, I prefer to work for USAA. They seem to be the most friendly to their employees and the company that I would have the most future in. I would love to be able to come back and work with something more local like INSEI, but we'll see where life leads me. Mandy is back in Kentucky right now. I might not get to see her for 5 months. It's going to be a long summer in that regard.
That's basically my life right. I'm just nervous wondering where it is that I'll be working for the summer. I'm doing my best to stay objective and calm, but I'm pretty excited and nervous. I hope I get that job in San Antonio. It would be a wonderful experience. Even if I don't get it this year, I'm definitely going to check it out next year. If at first you don't succeed, try try again... right?
