#neversettle

I've sent my resume twice this week, for two very cool projects here at my new uni:

1) Three weeks ago I found out that the nation's top researcher on self-driving cars is in the same building I am writing this from. So I approached him - is there any chance I could help him with his research? I genuinely want to do more with the subject and what better way to do that than to help researcher. He responded very enthusiastically (so yes) and he's gonna talk to his colleagues about it.

2) Amother thing I learned is that this University has multiple really cool student project teams that are developing cool vehicle tech - they have a project team building the world's most efficient vehicle, fastest human powered vehicle and one building a fricking rocket. There is one team who is building the fastest hydrogen powered car and is currently recruiting new members. Their current 85Kw car did a world record breaking lap for hydrogen cars on the Nurburgring this summer - 10 minute something - and now they wanna rebuild it with 100Kw and they are looking for someone to help with planning. Would be seriously awesome l if I can help them with that.

It's not a dream if I can make it real! Thanks, Ben.

The difference between "dreams" and "goals" is that dreams happen to you, you happen to goals.
