Black & Gold

currently listening to: MGMT "Electric Feel"

I passed the Engineering In Training (EIT) exam! I got the results when I was in Texas (yes, I was in Texas!), and was very pleased. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't pass. well, I would obviously re-take it, but I wouldn't be very pleased with myself about it. the experience was forgettable enough; airplane hangars are for airplanes, thank you. but what this means is that I get to play engineer for the next several years until, with three Professional Engineers' recommendations, I go back to the hangar and take the Professional Exam. and then if I pass, then I can be a licensed engineer. yay!

XXIX SUMMER OLYMPICS. holy shit. I love the Olympics. I love how it only happens every four years, how the entire world watches, how it displays human physical performance at its best. I love the Parade of Nations (although I have yet to find Burma in the past three ceremonies), the elaborate performances, the surprising victories.
