The new Quasi and Built to Spill albums (When the Going gets Dark and You In Reverse respectively) albums rock, I picked both of them up today in celebration of starting my internship. Amusingly enough, Sam from Quasi plays on one of the tracks in the Built to Spill album. :D
Started the internship today. It's pretty neat, though I gather that this week will mostly be consumed with orientation type stuff. They also gave me my plane tickets for the intern retreat today. Three sunny days in exciting Chippewa Falls, WI in August. Joy.
The other three interns I share my office with are all software types. Two CSE kids from UW, and one EE guy from Texas A&M. The TAMU guy started two weeks ago, and was working diligently while the rest of us blundered around without anything to do for most of the day.
Ah well. I start my first project tomorrow afternoon. It's pretty much just verification work, but it'll get me started with using the tools that I'll be doing design with later this summer.
"You In Reverse" is totally awesome. You must listen to it. Now.
DO IT!
