Well, orientation wasn't too bad. The days were a little long, and the tours involved a lot of driving there and back. Met some very nice people. It was also nice that I wasn't the oldest person there and I wasn't the only Hawkeye.
Got quite a few nifty presents. Got a new Ogio backpack, a Columbia jacket, a metal water bottle, and a pen/laser pointer/USB drive.
Spent the weekend at grandma's cabin. Went out on the lake on Sunday to watch sailboat races. Went to the farm Sunday morning to get rocks for landscaping with Dad. It was just nice relaxing time.
Arrived home to find a lei in my mail on my porch. Suzy is pretty awesome!

Intern Orientation
I'm headed up to MN for a day and a half of "intern orientation" with all the other interns in the company. As interesting as I think some things will be, I'm not really looking forward to the forced interaction. I don't mind meeting new people and hanging out, but part of the trip is an "event", which I apparently have no choice in. Rather than sending us to a Twins game or something equally exciting for all involved, we're having "Casino Night". I don't gamble (even fake money, which I'm sure this will be) mainly because I don't enjoy it. I probably don't enjoy it because I'm not all that good at guessing. I can't leave if I get bored, because I don't have my own transportation. We'll see how it goes. At least it's only 1.5 days, rather than a full week or something.
Trying it out...
I'll probably not be very good at keeping this side of the blog up, but the reading page I'm very curious to try to keep up with!
