h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

For one, it's over. Bloody hell, I didn't see that one coming, although I'm somewhat glad it is. My summer has been a busy one, and rewarding all the same. I spent my weekdays occupied working, full time, as an intern for Caterpillar. My frustrating business systems analysis class actually paid off, and my programming knowledge actually led me to be able to create three separate programs that are usable, two of which are actually spreading around in my department, increasing productivity and all that good stuff.
All my work there paid off in another way, too; my last day, I received a call from Caterpillar's HR department, and walked away with a job offer for when I graduate. This is phenomenal, really. They'll be paying me a very tidy sum as far as starting pay is concerned, and lifts a few great weights off my mind. From here on, my financial concerns for the future are much more limited. I'll be able to buy a car, get a house, and (someday) support a family. No rush, though, for I am back at school, hurrah!
Now, I may get some odd responses due to my endless enthusiasm at the beginning of this school's year; I don't care. I truly enjoy it here. A wonderful view, good friends, good classes, not to mention free food and spare time to kill. I also might add that Ellie and I are a good hour and a half closer, which is wonderful. I'm hoping to see her this weekend; it's been nearly a month since we last saw each other, and she's been on my mind for a little while every day. Lord knows I love that girl. ^_^;

Anyhow, I must away. Dinner is soon, and I'd be a fool to miss it.

Respectfully yours,
Mystrunner

Congratulations on the offer!

Kudos my friend! Hope this school year is the best one yet!

Congrats! Soon you will live the American dream.
