Practice, Practice, Practice

That's what it's been about 2day. I came in 2 work at 7:30 this morning and worked straight till almost 1 o'clock, when I went 2 lunch . I know that's pretty long, but I guess I was in a workaholic mood or something. I also practiced my final in the Fishbowl room, which proved I definitely need 2 practice it before hand. Overall though, Friday was just , with nice vibes and great breeze. By around 4 o'clock, about 7 of us interns ended up gathered around in the PC labs, just conversing about a lot of things in general, which was pretty nice (and different lol) . Eventhough we're kind of late for the mingling and small talk (being that there is only 2.5 days left of this internship), it was better than not all.

Thursday(The Final One)

(At least in regards 2 work) Why can't it be Friday? What a busy, busy, busy day. I worked extra, extra hard on my final 2day. It's officially just about ready . Now I just need 2 make a few more adjustments, 2 try and jazz it up a bit. I finally regained some of my walking abilities 2day(lol) and there's no practice 2morrow, so that's partially a plus.

DS: Can you believe there's only 4 days left of this summer internship left!? After approximately 2 rigorous months, the mini journey is almost over .

No Pain No Gain?

Well what if you already have the pain? And lots of it? I've been in pain since the end of day one of practice , but I'm not complaining because it's better than know sports action at all. (And a reminder 2 all...tennis is NOT a girly, no action sport, if it is 2 you, then your definitely, doing 98% of it,make that 99% WRONG...ok, done venting, lol) 2day @ work, the "Allyie's" told me that I was walking like , which in several ways, was kinda true, and funny. Still I thought I was walking like a person may walk without knee caps, but I guess Frankenstein works. Ok, enough about me...my final is going well and I feel like all the bits and pieces are finally coming 2gether. I'll work really hard on it 2morrow 2 make sure it's ready for the practice presentation on Friday.

Long Short Day

Work went by quick 2day. I continued working on my final. After that, I finally got myself 2gether 2 ask some wise questions 2 Dr. Richmond. Then:
~Made one last wise crack @ Alvin since he's leaving 2day(sorry, had 2 do it)
~Headed 2 tennis practice by 2:45

~Was 4 minutes late 4 practice(don't ask why because I don't know either)

~Resulting in my a half mile in the hot sun (may not sound like a lot, but it was 4 me)

Other than that, that's it so gotta go.

We've Gotta Work It Out

(That would definitely be my song for 2day...the version that Beyonce sings.) What a busy, busy day full of momentum, movement, and great ...yet no energy 2 back it all up. Tennis practice has finally started, but I'm still really rusty. I wish I had gotten a chance 2 practice this summer. After a 2hr. practice, as soon as I got home, my dad wanted 2 take my sisters 2 play tennis and so we did. I got a chance 2 practice with this man whose serve was pretty good , and I was actually returning them with better placement than usual...but it still needs a lot of work. As far as work goes, it went by pretty fast also. 2day was the earliest I've been 2 work (probably because I had no choice since I have 2 get 2 practice by 3 o'clock everyday) . I made it 2 work @ a record breaking time of 7:15 this morning(Applause please...thanks, lol) Ok gotta go.

Road Trip #3-Conclusion

I was able 2 show my face at work 2day and I'm glad I did. 2day was our field trip 2 Kodak's headquarters on State street, which indeed was more than we expected. (lol)It seemed more like a hotel than a Kodak building...especially when compared 2 the other Kodak buildings that I have been in(the exact opposite). While there, we looked at several new Kodak digital cameras and some of the new user friendly software that they have for home development of your own photos. We also had a demo of the little Kodak booth that you see in Wal-Mart, Wegmans, and any other store that lets you develop your pictures . After the demonstration, we tried out their 3D race car game, which was pretty good. Then,, we watched some promos in their java shop, setup room and that was also nice. It seems like about 98% of what we watch in movies is also green screen effects. I guess you can say that our imagination and thinking-out-of-the-box skills have drastically increased...especially when compared 2 about 10-15 years ago. Before we left, we all got up close (no personal) with the Oscar, Emmy, and several other trophies that Kodak was awarded with. When we left Kodak, we went to eat at a place that goes by the name of Jimmy Macs(right in the High Falls area) The food was ok I guess, but I kept it safe with some chicken fingers, since I still wasn't feeling so well. When we returned 2 RIT, I just worked on my final again, and watched the clock. Hopefully I feel a better 2morrow...enough 4 the Carifest Festival. Although small, it still a fun, and your bound 2 bump into someone you know...especially if you live in the city.

System Shut Down

Yup, that's me. 2day represents my first sick day used at work. The only thing is I think it's still counted as a regular absence since i'm just an intern. I basically just stayed home and got rest all day.
