I've given in to the overwhelming sense of depression and homesickness. I asked to end my internship a week early, which means I should be home by Saturday. I think it was because I went home last weekend and saw what I was missing that made me want to be at home even more. I decided that I spend enough time away from home during the academic year, so I'm going to take what precious time I have left and spend it with my family.
To be honest, I'd have to say that I really did enjoy the work experience. Everyone was more than accommodating and professional - a real inspiration in the work place, and though it was short, I did learn a few things during my five weeks:
1. The people you work with are the ones you see the most of, so it pays to be nice to them.
2. Flirting is a very powerful weapon (as was observed).
3. Solidworks makes normal desktops crash - like a lot.
4. It's not a good idea to eat tuna every day.
5. No one really functions at 7.30am, they just pretend til about 8.00am.
6. Everyone's life revolves around the bell - start work, break, lunch, break, end work.
7. It's not a good idea to stare at the computer for nine hours, your eyeballs try to run into the back of your head.
8. Don't play minesweeper with Weng. He's too lucky.
