I love drafting probably more than I as a graduate in engineering should. It is very satisfying to be able to draw straight lines for miles and miles, or turn at razor-sharp 90-degree corners. But I didn't quit learning when I got my first CAD job for a reason, though I may forget this reason from time to time.
Last week, on the way to the meeting with the soon-to-be Afghan community center project manager, Scott asked me how my internship could get better for these last few weeks. It took a long time--I rarely think of how I can get something out of work, and I often consider pure CAD to be pure enjoyment--but I eventually decided it would be fun and professionally edifying for me to participate in whatever design I could, so I said I would like to do some of the water/wastewater design work. Today, I found out that's what I'm going to do. I think I mentioned in a previous entry that our civil engineer is a professor and is quite busy these days, so my intrusion into his designated tasks are actually welcome. And a quick break from 8-9 hours of AutoCAD per day is also welcome.
In the words of Ms. Saviz, my fluid mechanics and water resources professor, "Yay!"
