So it's official. I started working last week, and overall its been a good experience. I still haven't quite figured out what my niche at C+D is going to be, but I do know this much: I will be working in their VLJ (very light jet) program, and I will be learning a lot about composites. I'm pretty happy with it so far, seeing as how it's aerospace and I will be learning about something that interests me. I haven't actually started working as an "engineer" yet, and have been spending most of my time in the lay-up room learning how to fabricate composite thingys. So if you know me well at all, you will know that I've been enjoying it since I am actually making things. And if you have a spare $3.2 million in the bank and want to pick up your own personal Embraer Phenom 100 personal jet, you can rest assured that I could have been the one to make some of the parts. =)
This weekend was particularly productive. We got a lot done around the house, including finally hanging some stuff on the walls. So our house is slowly starting to look like some young-adults live here....rather than a couple of ramen-eating, futon-dwelling, spartan college students. We also went to a HUGE pumpkin patch, and picked out some prime candidates for carving. So now we're officially prepared for all the trick-or-treaters.
If you've seen the news at all lately, you'll know that quite a bit of southern California has been declared a state of emergency because it's burning to the ground. We're okay, and the closest fire is still and hour or two south of us, so we haven't felt the effects of it quite yet. You can still smell it, however, and visibility is down quite a bit during the day. Looking to the south there is a haze that is hanging it the valleys which kind of looks like heavy fog...but it's not. An interesting note though, I checked the weather report yesterday and it said this:
Yep, that's right....smoke. Not sunny, or partly cloudy, or even rain....but smoke. Now there's something that you'll never see in Ohio!
