Washington, DC - Here I come!
It's really been a busy semester so far. Working an average of fifteen hours a week, the class I TA for, and all my classes and homework, I haven't had a chance to keep this up-to-date. Here is a brief update.
Before spring break my team in Intelligent Systems (ISAT 344) turned in an Expert Knowledge Base project. It was a vacation selector that asked questions to determine what vacation destination fit the users preference best.
A month ago I sent my resume in for a summer internship position with a contractor in Northern Virginia. I was called in for an interview the Friday before spring break. The interview was a great experience and consisted of an introduction to the company, a lunch with several project leads and employees, and then four individual interviews. I was very impressed with the entire process; it shows that there are employers who really care about their employees, and candidates for employment. I received an email last Monday offering me the internship! I am excited about this great opportunity for my summer. I'll be spending my summer in the DC area working with the contractor.
For spring break I went to Duck, NC on the Outer Banks. The weather was rainy on Monday, a little cool mid-week, and beautiful on Friday (of course, the day we leave it gets nice). Since it was still out-of-season many of the shops were closed or just opening for the season.
This is the Atlantic Ocean and the beach access to the resort.
Here is the outdoor pool (which we never used because its not heated) and some of the units at the resort.
We didn't get in the water, as it was very cold… instead we walked the beach.
Last week was busy trying to get back into the groove from break. At work I prepared some computers for donation to the Harrisonburg Children's Museum in downtown Harrisonburg. Classes are preparing for our second round of exams in the next few weeks, which will be absorbing most of my time. I'm also starting to prepare my Senior Thesis proposal, which is nerve-wracking because next year is my last year of college!
