PISTONS SOLAR PANNELS AND SCHOOLIN BEARS!

            Today of all days was the roughest to get through. Though I made the wrong choice to stay up a little later then I should I bond very well with my roommate Chad. Then we went to bed and had to suffer the next day. Though I suffered through much I did take some cool things from it. I loved learning about Sauer-Danfoss. My favorite part was the tour. You could tell how high tech they were just by how high tech their tour was. It came to the point where they gave us headsets to hear the tour guide from so he didn’t have to speak over the machinery. Then it showed how they have great computer equipment that had so much sensor technology that they even knew when the person was working on the machine, not including having each assembly piece be lit up when it needed to be added on. This tour was very impressive, and blew me away despite my major need to go pee. Giving a measurable example to how incredible a company could be. Then later at the research park there was a man discussing an incredible new technology involving a simple sheet of solar technology. These sheets can be woven into fabrics giving very vestal ways to gain solar energy. Despite being super tired and having my eyes slip into REM sleep while I was awake I was extremely fascinated by this new research, and learned a lot. I hold on to the piece of plastic they gave us to treasure the greatness, and then we went over the results of our marketing simulation. This gave me a great over view of what I and all the other teams learned. Again one of my favorite parts of the week. Finally we all went to a cubs game to chill. I’ve never seen a base ball game in a stadium, and bonded with Ria learning the ways of the ball park. The coolest part of the night was seeing the crazy dance skills of the guy in the bear costume. I definitely learned to take it a little easier staying up late at night this week, but wouldn’t trade a second of the pain just so I could chill with Chad that night. Finally I’ve started putting the things I’ve learned here into perspective lately, and have really started thinking about what I’m going to do to further my success when I get home.

1. I’m going to quite my job or move to a more satisfying time so I don’t have to be miserable, and can move further towards success.
2. I’m going to put more effort into my job at the movie theatre to learn what I can to start at the bottom of film, and work my way up, because I still love it at the theatre.
3. I’m going to help build my parents up to success because they both want to start business in town, and I’ll give them some of the outlet information I’ve gained here to help them on the road of success.
4. Finally I’m going to start a small wedding video set up with my dad to gain some easy money doing a hobby that I love am good at, and wouldn’t take too much time.
