Doing mechanical engineering right now. How's your program treating you so far?

I've enjoyed it a ton! I'm actually doing an internship this summer at a little startup, doing embedded Linux software to control a generator. It's been fun and has kinda made me wonder whether I want to do more electrical things, not just computer.

I'd definitely encourage you to get an internship in engineering one of these summers. I can't say that getting a job without any connections is especially easy, as I got my internship through networking, but it definitely is possible.

Like you mentioned in your top-level comment, I'm really excited for autumn to roll around so I can get back to classes.
