Nothing out of the ordinary has been going on at work. The deadline is next week and I'm getting along, but still a little worried that I might not make the deadline. There's a chance the deadline may be extended by a week because one of the parts that we need for testing may not arrive in time....hopefully this is the case ;)
I had a pretty awesome weekend. On Friday, Dave had a BBQ and busted out the magarator. It was mostly all of our friends at work that came. We ended up watching die hard 2 ....let me just say that one should never watch any sort of movie that involves planes and such with a bunch of aerospace engineers. They will drive you crazy with all the faults in the movie!
On Saturday, I got to go wakeboarding! One of Dave's best friends owns a boat and his family takes it out almost every weekend. So a bunch of us and his friend's family went out to this river that emptys into the Bay. There was 14 of us total on the boat and we all took turns wakeboarding, water sking, and wake surfing. It was about 85 degrees and the water was almost the exact temperature, so it was really nice. Not too hot either because it can get up into the 100s. There were 4 of us that had never wakeboard before and as I watched the other 3 get in the water and fail miserably, I got really worried that I wouldn't be able to do it either. I was thinking that if the 2 guys who were over 6 foot tall and fit couldn't do it, what chance did I? On top of that, people kept making jokes about how small I was and the shoe size on the board was a 13 in mens! I ended doing really well and was able to get myself up and gliding in the water for about 30 seconds each run....and the board did slip off my feet whenever I crashed into the water. Now, this might not be so impressive compared to all the pros that can jump over waves and such, but the other 3 couldn't even get up, let along glide!! So I was told that if I tried it a couple more times, I will get really good at it. I wanted to try water skiing too, but I was pretty sore already, so I passed. After spending the entire day in the water, we came back to the friends house and grilled hotdogs. :) I love hotdogs!
Today, I went to San Francisco with some of my intern friends to watch the LGBT Pride parade. It was really amusing....although weird at times. After the parade, we did some light shopping and then one of the girls wasn't feeling well, so we came back. I will definitely come back to SF a few more times before I leave Cali. It seemed like there were a lot of things to do.
Oh yeah, as a result of my day of wakeboarding, I am now sore all over! Everything hurts...it even hurt to shiver when I was cold in San Francisco.
