Almost Philmont… and Cypress

These past weeks I’ve been interning at Cypress and learning a ton of stuff, mostly to do with laser optics and the associated waveform physics. Working in the lab is fun, of course, and a good experience for the future.

Of course, when I get really really bored (rarely ever happens), I pull out a … video game (xD). Lately I’ve been playing TF2 again, as people came back to the servers.

I was also bored enough to learn how to play “River Flows In You”. The below mp3 is the second time I’ve played it.

Philmont’s coming up soon as well, I’m leaving at 3:45AM Friday (annoyingly early). It should be a fun 14 days, lots of hiking and other activities (black powder?). Unfortunately, it cuts in the middle of my internship time, which is a pretty major annoyance. Hopefully I’ll be able to make up the work later.

Internship

I’ve been (and will be for the rest of the summer) interning at Cypress Semiconductor. So far, I haven’t been doing too much, mostly studying optical physics and reading patents or papers. They did nicely give me my own cubicle, and an ID card and everything =). Today, I went and turned in the work permit for FUHSD. Its quite annoying, since they require your SSN, and I don’t have that memorized at all.

Today I’ll probably be learning how to run a beam scan on a VCSEL or two, so it should be quite interesting =).

Supplemental Reading Project Woes

Being the procrastinator that I am, I left pretty much all the supplemental reading project work to be done today… the day before its due. There was a pretty big problem, however – I somehow misplaced my book yesterday, and I was completely unable to find it today. I had to go and buy another copy, then do the whole project starting at 11:47PM (although that was more because of my dad than anything else). Thankfully, I’m done now, and I’ll go to sleep sometime… or allnighter? Not too sure which is better really.

School's almost over

Fourteen days and counting, this year of school ends in merely two weeks’ worth of school days. It comes so quickly, now, when at the beginning of the year it was faraway goals. Hopefully these last days will be more enjoyable, but it’s unlikely, with finals upcoming.

The summer’ll be fun, so I’ll wait for that; until then, time to pull out the chem book (for the first time in a while) and review… again and again and again. Fun.
