My most significant personal experience was meeting everyone at Skinit and making friends with them. Sure, designing I can do, Photoshop I can use, but meeting people and making friends is something I don't do very often or very well. Not only did I make friends though, I made contacts and a network for the future--I do plan on keeping contact with them. They're all so nice and sweet, and since they're new friends there are still so many things to get to know about them.
I really had fun at my last week of work. Here's a summary.
Summary of my week
On Monday I finished up my designs and got them on the templates.
On Tuesday I got my cell phone CAD'ed by Matt, worked on a few dailies, and submitted my skews for printing.
On Wednesday I brought my tablet to be CAD'ed (and left it overnight), explored a bit and met Jess, who works in the warehouse. I worked on a few dailies, and then I got to making skinners (photo-realistic models of the skinned devices) of my designs using actions. I got a bunch done. I went to lunch with my mentor and some coworkers that day, to an Indian cuisine restaurant.
On Thursday I met Pat at lunch and showed him a nice place outside the warehouse to eat. We got to talking and I invited him to my POL. I invited Jess too, and Scott. I was working on my skinners and compiling them into Comp Sheets that day, and I got them finished. I used InDesign to create the comp sheets, and I didn't know how to use it at all except for the basics. I learned about links and such while working with it. Also, I got my tablet back since Matt finished CAD-ing it, but I'll have to order it off the website once it's up since it was too late to print it. I got my skin samples too, and skinned my devices at home.
On Friday I skinned my laptop (I didn't have time the previous night), printed my comp sheets, and I met Sarah. I went to see her for some good samples of the daily production for my POL, and I invited her to my POL too, but it turned out she couldn't make it in the end. At 1:00, just after lunch, Brandon and three sophomores came and I gave my presentation. I felt really nervous and didn't have too much time to prepare, so I hope I did well (even though everyone tells me I did a fantastic job). Afterward I finished up some things, said goodbye to everybody, and even met some more people, like Flora and Arnold and Bill. At 4, internship was finally over, and I felt really sad--but hopefully I can come back in the summer or next year during the senior internship opportunity. I'm really going to miss everyone!

It's Bill!
Sarah and I together. She's in sales. I seem to have a lot of friends in sales.
Arnold and I together. He's a software developer! (Also known as a programmer.) I had fun talking to him about some programming things.
The conference room I had my POL in. There were about ten people in the room and not enough chairs, but since a lot of people sit all day anyway, they were fine with standing. Even I stood, but I was presenting.
Time to say goodbye Skinit... but hopefully, not for long! So, goodbye, just for now!
