Another Update

I guess I'll just do this bullet point style again. Here's what's been going on in my life recently:

• I just ended my internship at NI yesterday. Holy crap I loved it. It was hands down the best job I've ever had and could ever hope to have. The people, the work, the company. It's just a package you can't beat. But I want to get my masters, so I'll have to put that off for a while. 
• Along those lines, NI just released wireless DAQ!! This is a big deal to me, because it's what I was working on all summer. Check out this video on environmental engineering and wireless DAQ and the new Wireless Node and Gateway. I know the prototyped product looks a little rough right now, but it won't get released for another year. This is more like a sneak peak. If it means nothing to you, just talk to me and believe me, I'll be able to get you excited about it!
• My brothers just moved in to their condo today, which is in apartment 206. And I'm in 205. So yes, my brothers are literally right next door. Whoa. And they went to London without me. But they got me a really sweet tartan flask from Harrod's. They totally made up for that whole "We got to go to London with Dad but Ashley didn't" thing.
• Temporary roommate bullshit is lame. Especially when you can't even blame the girl because she wasn't raised with something called "common courtesy" so things don't even cross her mind. If she honestly didn't know what she was doing was wrong, I can't get mad after the fact.
• I am not Catholic.
• It turns out when I have a few beers, I turn random gingers into my ex-boyfriend. Even though I swear it looked exactly like him. But he was in North Carolina. I might be a little paranoid.
• I have been studying regularly for the GRE. It sucks. I have the worst vocabulary ever. Hopefully I can dominate the math at least.
• I love James. And his family.
• I got a Nikon D40 and am going to take an intro to DSLR class in the fall. I'm going to turn into one of those hipster photographers.
• The Olympics are AWESOME. Go America!! But Michael Phelps looks like a monkey. But literally 30 seconds ago he won his 8th medal. It was incredible. For a monkey.
• Tim is married. And Barley is adorable. But she peed and stained my carpet. But I wasn't there when she did it, so it's sort of not my fault. But more importantly, the guy that proposed to me two years ago is now married.
• I got an iPhone 3G. Totally worth the $2k. I love it. I can constantly prove I'm right (and occasionally wrong) in everyday conversation via Wikipedia. And reply to email with an uncanny timeliness. And I love Shazam. 
• I'm going to miss Victor and Stephen so much. So so so much. I miss them already. I really loved them. I hope they're reading this. I love y'all.
