Internship

I'm planning to do my internship this holiday.
I really hope I get it, so that I can get first hand experience working.
The company hasn't gotten back to me yet, but if I do not get it, its a likelihood that I might do a module with my friend during the special semester.

I was comtemplating on working on the holidays, but I've been thinking lately...
I haven't been doing enough in my university education. My university life has been pretty much just studying and struggling to get the grades.

I really do admire the people who get to go overseas for exchange or go for some academic program. I've got friends who are in the NUS engineering race team, you know the one where they design a forumla one (or something equivalent).

But I've been considering my options and considering the direction I should take. I kind of liken it to planning the character build of an MMORPG character. If your character is a mage, you'd be insane to pump his strength, rather you would likely add his wisdom so that he's got higher mana and larger magic attack.

Just to side track, any of you guys playing MMORPG?
I might want to begin one during the holiday, while doing my internship(I hope I get it...) Hehe...please let me get it...

Similarly, I've been thinking of what kind of engineer I want to be. I think I know myself well enough to know that I'm not the academic sort of person. I dread thinking too much into an equation or a theory. I lack the memory(ROM not enough space) to remember stuff like Schrödinger and his pet cat. I lack the thinking power (RAM too low) to think about a lot of stuff in a short period of time.

But one thing I know, I like the hands on practical portion of engineering. I like the part where I get to build circuits. I like that part when my program works. I like to make something practical and see it in action. For that reason, I'm actually quite interested in being the GAR sort of engineer. I see myself working outside in the industry and doing a lot of practical work when I graduate. Hence, I might plan my modules and direction towards my working life. The problem is...how will I do it?

Well, thats a question I really need to think.
I don't really want to waste this holiday. Internship is part of my plan and I hope it doesn't screw up.
