Diving In

Today was my first day working as a 38 Studios employee, and all I can say is: wowie. The energy in the studio radiates off everyone, and the level of talent there is so exciting. Everyone is so passionate about what they do to work towards their shared goals and dreams, and that confidence and faith is hard not to feel with them. They all kick so much ass! I can't believe I am part of this ridiculously crazy-awesome team. I was sad to leave the office early today, and I can't wait to go back again on Tuesday to sit in my prime, right-next-to-a-window spot. I can already tell that I am going to gain so much knowledge from this opportunity. My teammates have really welcomed me with open arms, and their patience and friendliness is going to make this an amazing experience -- I'm sure of it.

The check engine light on my car turned on during my drive to work today, and it has remained on for the whole day (I was hoping it would magically disappear after my day at work). I listened to my friend Gasoline Monk's new album on the drive up, and a mix of Arms and Sleepers and the new Deftones album on my way home -- I smiled and spaced out the whole way home that I missed my exit off the highway =P. Gasoline Monk, aka Forrest Armstrong for you surrealist, literary types, gave me his mixtape last night while were sitting around the campfire at DJs place, and it was great company for the ride up. I love the stuff he's got up on his myspace, so I highly suggest checking it out.

The coming of June means a big milestone for the UN Project team is just around the corner -- LAUNCH! I'm very excited for that to happen, and I'm wishing the team in Vermont the best!

This weekend will bring with it much rejoicing and lots of science. Labs are due and I have an exam to study for!
