Ever since going to the geothermal conference a few weeks ago, I have been overcome with a desire to "lean in" to my industry and help solve the problems it currently faces. I got an idea for my Master's thesis from the conference, and I have been excited ever since to get started on it. I've been working on an application for a software mentorship program; the company's new software models seem like they are perfect for the work I will be doing.
It's not likely that I'll get the mentorship, because they only give it to 10 people. However, I definitely have a good shot at it! I have a contact within the company who encouraged me to apply, so hopefully she can pull some strings for me. Also, because their software is perfect for my work, that makes my chances even higher. Fingers crossed.
With all this excitement about my thesis project, and with all my hard work for my classes, I barely have time to think about boys. And even if I did have time, I don't want to. I already got asked out on a date, which I ended up cancelling because he seemed really clingy. Another guy seems interested but hasn't asked me out yet, but I'm not really interested in him either. What I am interested in is my career. My resume looks awesome! And my mentorship proposal is also really awesome! I'm really proud of all the work I have done and I'm looking forward to doing even more work. Because this is the work that matters. My career matters. And I want to do the best I can to improve my industry.
