Nice. Have fun distributing the water studs all around the ship evenly. Wonderful. Those flower sets will look incredible when they're built. That's a lot of sets, but I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun when you find time to build them.
Ah, I see. Definitely a lot of things to go through, but also a lot of things that are probably worth keeping if you like them. I still have all of my Thomas the Tank Engine toys as well since I still really like them, and I hope my future kids will like them too. Hehe, I guess your stuff will be in their hands now until you have enough space to get them back. That's unfortunate. Driving doesn't seem too bad, not really preferable. Do you have a car, or maybe you have car but don't use it often?
My apartment has quite a lot of space. Lots of space to move around and a bedroom that I've converted into the drying room for my laundry when it comes out of the washer. You do have a bigger LEGO collection than I do, so it will certainly be a daunting task. Hopefully there will be enough room. Yep, that's true. That'll be great. I can't wait to see how you've used it.
That'll be good, especially for practice. Definitely apply for the ones you like even if it feels early. Back when I was looking for jobs, I got interviews from a couple companies in July, but I submitted applications for them in February when they posted the job. Sometimes you never know when they're actually going to look through the applications and get back to you.
I also work 40 hours a week, but every weekday since we always have things to do. I've heard of a lot of different schedule ideas, like 10 hours a day but every Friday off, the one your friend has with every other Friday off, and other variations. They do seem pretty appealing, though I haven't tried any of those variations yet.
My hope is that I can shake the water studs into position easily enough once the bottle is closed.
My parents still have my Thomas the Tank Engine stuff, but I'd never let another child touch it due to the copious amounts of flaking lead paint. Not good.
And no, having a car in the city is too expensive relative to how much I would use it. I'm not the kind of person who likes going a lot of places, so a couple grand dropped on a garage and insurance is just a waste.
Do you not have a dryer? Here the laundry is in the basement, I considered in-unit laundry to be an unnecessary luxury. Yes, the LEGO collection moving will keep me occupied for years to come.
This past weekend I applied for an analytics internship with the local MLB team. I had to write a cover letter and answer some other miscellaneous questions. If it hadn't been something that I found super cool I don't think I could've soldiered through it, but after completing the process I can definitely say it was really good practice of writing a cover letter and thinking about the application process in ways I didn't necessarily do before.
As long as I don't have to work more than 40 hours a week (or if I do I better get overtime...) I'm happy with whatever. Hopefully my summer internship will have plenty of hours to keep me occupied, the only internship I've had before was 29.75 hours a week because apparently if I did 30+ hours a week they'd need to give me benefits. This was a government job, so unsurprising. Some weeks I'd work another job and get over 50 hours combined, but that was too much standing up for me after a while. Nice paychecks though.
That's one way to do it. Enough random movements will probably distribute them around.
Wow. I didn't know there was still lead paint in those toys. Thankfully mines are still intact, though I don't know which ones have lead paint if there are any.
That's fair. I'd do the same thing if I lived in the city and public transportation was more abundant. You do end up saving a lot of money since you won't have to maintain the car or get gas, and you'll save time not having to find parking too.
I do have a shared washer and dryer, but I think the dryer is an older model and only has one heat setting which is way too hot and aggressive on my clothes. I fear my clothes' lifetime will shorten a lot if I keep using the dryer every week. As long as there is at least 2 washers and 2 dryers for everyone to use, you'll definitely be fine. Indeed, at least until you end up finding a new place and then you have to move all your LEGO again.
That's great. Overtime as you apply for more opportunities you'll get the feel for what companies look for. I used to write individual cover letters for each application, but as most of the jobs asked for similar things I ended up just copying cover letters and changing the names.
Yep. I think the standard 40 hours a week and amount of overtime actually has legal regulations on it, at least where I live. Wow, that's an interesting schedule of work in order for them to avoid giving you benefits. That's understandable, but good that it paid very well.

Well, back when we were kids there weren't as many restrictions, and I had some older trains too.
How's the parking situation where you live?
How strange. I just do mine on the highest heat and nothing ever seems to happen. I don't buy expensive clothes anyway, so nothing to worry about.
I'm hoping I can manage to stay in this place for my duration here so I don't have to bother moving everything. We'll see how that goes.
If you're staying within the industry, it's very easy to use a similar cover letter, just restructuring based on the posted job requirements and such.
Well it really wasn't paying that well, it's just exciting making money when you're 18...

That's true. Toys back then were way more relaxed, though perhaps more dangerous until it's too late.
It's not too bad, I think. I haven't driven much except to home and work, but parking doesn't seem too bad when it's not lunch or dinner time.
I think it takes many cycles over a long period to notice some change, but whatever happens my dryer is way too hot to take the clothes out. That's good. I only have expensive clothes for the occasions when I have to dress a little nicer.
Good plan. Is where you live a form of student housing, or just regular apartments?
Pretty much, though I'd imagine it to be harder for students who concentrated on a single topic when some jobs require a lot of different skills.
Ah, I see, especially for being so young and so early in your career.

I'd also take those trains into my sandbox and the sand would do murder on the paint, made it really flake.
Do you have a reserved spot for your apartment? Is it expensive?
Many of my clothes have somehow lasted 7+ years, so I'm not too worried at this point.
It's just regular apartments, though it's so close to campus that I think the majority of residents are at least affiliated with the university. I found this place via the university's off campus housing website, anyway. I kind of like having a company in charge rather than an individual landlord.
That's true, though I think everyone should try to branch out as much as possible. You'll be amused(?) to hear I spent the whole past weekend in a Python training course. The number of colons in the syntax takes some getting used to, but it is pretty nice. Way better than Java, that's for sure

As expected of sand, it sanded down the paint. I suppose you could repaint them with safer paints now.
I do have half of a garage that I share with the neighbor as well as my half of the driveway, so at most I can have two cars (just not side by side. ).
Same with me. I still have clothes I've worn in high school that I still wear today.
Ah, that makes sense. That's really nice that your university has resources for other forms of housing. I think my university had that too, but some apartments were really far away. I think I can agree. There's multiple people and a whole system you can contact if something goes wrong, which is better than a single landlord.
That makes sense. It can be tricky figuring out what topics to get into, especially balancing what you like and what will get you into the opportunities you're looking for. Nice! Yeah, there's a lot of colons for every function, if statement, and loop, but it is quite a versatile language. I can agree on that too. I think I've now coded more in Python than I've coded in Java in my entire education and work career.

I have not seen the trains in years. I think it would be better for them to go away... perhaps my parents got rid of them in their move
Ah, that's very nice. Then you can have visitors.
I think most universities have off campus housing resources, but this one here seemed to be better than my undergrad's. I need to find out when / how this place will have me renew my lease... moving somewhere else would be a hassle.
I need to do some more practice with working with data, doing statistics, and generating meaningful charts to illustrate data. I'm somewhat tempted to redo all my machine learning assignments in python when I have the time as well.
Wonderful. Those flower sets will look incredible when they're built. 
Here the laundry is in the basement, I considered in-unit laundry to be an unnecessary luxury. 
Goodbye LMBs...
