Despite the fact that it's summer and I'm supposed to have more time to relax, my schedule has been exhausting. I've been working a summer job at Home Depot in the Garden Center up to forty hours a week, in addition to a summer internship that I got for a few days a week. I've been working at the firm Fletcher Thompson in their Shelton, CT office, making changes to construction drawings in CAD or fixing layouts and drawing scales. It's been a lot of tedious work, but I've learned a lot already in the couple weeks I've been there. And the exposure to the architecture office environment has been invaluable, as has the new addition to my resume when applying for my January co-op starting in the fall.

I'm going to be getting a break next weekend though. I'm really exciting to be going camping with friends from home and friends from Northeastern that I haven't seen since school got out. It will be a really fun break from work to be able to relax with all my friends for a couple days, especially those from Boston that I may not see for the rest of the summer.

Please feel free to post any questions or comments.
