Yesterday I revisited three possible (and similar) solutions to the “I want to be creative, but I still like technical things” dilemma that has been simmering in the back of my head for at least four years now.
Things are in the air at work. Things are happening, but it remains to be seen whether they’ll be good for me or not. Bini is coming back on Monday for her second grad co-op tour, and she’s going to be taking over a lot of the debris footprint work, under my guidance. She will be partly my co-op, I guess, which feels a little strange to say. The co-ops in our group always go to Gavin and Rich, never to any of the rest of us. It will be interesting. I don’t know if I will be a very good half-mentor. I have trouble communicating technical things; even when I understand them in my head, I am not good at explaining them.
As she gets into that, I will be concentrating more on Mars work. It will be a nice change of pace, however, it will still be coding. I guess this is a test of whether it’s all the coding that bugs me, or whether I’m just tired of footprints.
I decided last night that this summer I’m going to take an art or photography class. UHCL or one of the community colleges around here is bound to have something I would enjoy. Dad is always telling me to take a math class, and I’m sure that would be useful and all, but I probably wouldn’t enjoy it as much.
Tonight I somehow double-booked myself for softball and soccer. And I am still sore from Sunday. Such is my crazy life. I suppose I could have bigger problems, eh?
Where’s my co-op? Why can’t I have a co-op? 🙁
hehe. you take a photography class and i’ll take the math class! 🙂
