An update of recent me. In short, I come to the conclusion that my internship is stressful and flexible. I am doing my best to climb the learning curve yet I get quite tired with two hours drive every day, long hours at production floor learning from different engineers, carried out tests and validation myself, and tasks to bring home to complete and analyze data collected from tests and update my supervisor every morning.

I am the only intern in the department. So, communication with the seniors who are all experienced engineers becomes a knowledge that i have to brush up. I am afraid that sometimes my words are immature. But i enjoy taking the initiative steps to approach and learn from them.

I am getting more tensed up to meet expectation of my supervisor. But its a learning path. People always reminds me that i am lucky to have him as my supervisor for his years of experience and he is willing to train me. I appreciate it :) Everyday i get to learn something new. This afternoon, I am given a chance to follow my supervisor and another two senior engineers to RnD building to learn the technology of a newly bought small machines which cost 100k USD. and once i have completed the task i am currently doing at production floor, I have to go to RnD building to start performing next task with that machines.

Lastly, I followed my supervisor to a meeting this morning and its total impressive to me to see bunch of process engineers using those big bombastic words that i have no idea in the meeting and the excel projected are all graphs and endless numerical numbers. The atmosphere is also tensed up, and i shall conclude that 职场没情讲。Engineers who fail to fuifil targets set will be screwed up in the meeting regardless position and age.

However, the working hour is flexible. No punch card in the morning. I can come to work at 8am or 10am. I can go back at 4pm or 6pm as long as your works are done. But too bad in the past two weeks i am working 10 hours from 8am to 6pm most of the days. With the two hours drive every day, I am spending half of my day 12 hours outside. At night, data analyzing and plotting graph. Oh. Exhausted.
