Famous Last words for Finals Week

As finals week is quickly approaching projects have been stacking up one on top of another. It has been crazy with the amount of group projects that AME professors assign at the end of the semester. Yesterday when I walked into my first class, my professor announced that he will be assigning another homework assignment that will be due Friday. So why am I writing about this for my Famous Last Words? I am a senior in Mechanical Engineering. I have survived many Finals weeks. Each finals week is the same as the other. Just some tips that I have learned from past finals weeks. Do not pull an all nighter before an exam. If you really need to, do two nights before. Sleeping will improve your score because you will be of sound mind and can think better. Luckily this semester I only have two finals that are next week. This class ends Friday, but I hope to finish it up today. I have to turn in my final solids lab, and present my lab on Thursday morning. I have to turn in my final technical writing paper next week with my group. My last tap performance will be Friday during class. That means on Monday I will take my Finance Exam, and Friday, I will be taking my Numerical Methods exam. All of this connects with what I have learned from this class. It is easier to get through these busy times when you take time and work ahead in your classes. For example, My solids lab and presentation are already finished. We just have to go over the presentation one more time before Thursday morning. I have finished up my technical writing project so it is ready to turn in. I am waiting for my Numerical Professor to post our last homework so I can finish it up! Well I hope your finals week goes well! Good Luck!

There's a chance of surviving finals week.

Famous Last Words, Internship Opportunity

Well this week started off pretty well. Back in September I attended the Engineering Career Fair here at OU. Attending this career fair gave me a chance to network with some well known companies in the engineering field. During the 4 hour event I was able to talk to twelve different companies that have opportunities for my major. During this time I went looking for a company that I would like to intern for this summer. This was the first time I had ever been to a career fair, I was really nervous. I started off at a company that I had talked to at lunch before so that it was a familiar territory. While I was there I talked to a company I was really interested in working for, PEC, which is a Professional Engineering Consultant company located in Oklahoma City. After talking to the representative about why I would like to work for PEC and opportunities PEC held for me I was super excited to get to talk to them in the future. Well fast forward to the end of last week, I was excited to find an email in my inbox from a manager at PEC! I ended up talking to the manager back and forth where at the end I accepted an offer to work with PEC in their Oklahoma City branch. I was thrilled to find out that they wanted me to intern for their company next summer. I can't wait to see what opportunities this internship will hold for me next summer. I look forward to having the skills that I have been learning for four years put to use, where I can also learn more about the way the engineering business world works. That is how my week turned out and it ended on such a happy note!

This world is full of opportunities.

Famous Last Words: Surviving Career Fair week

The reading this week went really well. I listened to the audio books because this week was so busy. This gave me enough time to do both parts of the reading. I remember the journeys of Sinbad the best. I didn't get any ideas from the reading though. I am still working on my reading strategy. This is the only class that I had to do any writing for unless you count a resume. I spent hours working on my resume for the career fair. I loved one of the stories that I read that was in letter form. There was also a poem that I read that I wish I could write like. Things in my other classes are going well it has just been busy with homework. This next week is the end of rush for my sorority, that means that I will not have two events every week just for my sorority that I will have to attend and I can get back to going to Paradigm and Village. I have been extra busy this semester and miss spending time with different organizations. I also miss the time to cook my own meals. I am hoping after this week I will be able to go home during the evenings and cook instead of eating out every evening. I also plan to get ahead on my homework if it is possible. For example, in the past weeks I haven’t finished the homework in this class until the day that it is due. Today I finished most of the work that is due tomorrow a day early. I want to keep this schedule up so I don’t end up like last week and do the wrong homework and run out of time and miss turning in an assignment. I also am about to start exams so I will need to study for those.
