Pay week!

It was very exciting to get my first pay check. This past Friday, all the other interns/ co-ops got together to discuss the short and long-term projects we are working on. We try to meet every Friday to catch up. And about once a week, we also leave the plant to go out to lunch! All of my co-workers in my department left early on Friday to escape the snow and ice. So that meant I got to leave early! I am working about 40 hours every week. As long as I am given tasks to do, the day goes by pretty quickly. However, Those last two hours might be a little slow! But the best part about coming home after a hard day, is knowing there is no homework to do!! This weekend, my roommates, who are both industrial engineering majors at NC State, relaxed, slept in, went shopping, and went out to eat! It has been a great experience so far. I am learning a lot. It is very cool to meet people from all over the country and from other countries! There are several German interns, so it is a great experience to learn their culture. Sometimes the language barrier is hard, but you get used to it.
