day 16

Today it was a full day of activities. The one that really made a big impact on me was the ACS company. The reason being is during the presentation and listening to the general manager, it made me realize that I really need to learn more Chinese. I mean I knew that I needed to learn Mandarin. All my life I always hear that I need to learn it so I can get a good job in the work force. In the back of my head I always think that there is time to learn don't worry. Just wait till next semester to pick up the pate. Boy was I wrong, listening to the lady talk it really made me realize that I need to get a move on the language. So many jobs and potential different options now revovle on knowing Mandarin, its kinda of scary. Realizing this thought I feel like I need to get a move on it.

Another thing that was pretty cool today was the Aircraft carrier. Geez I did not realize how big it was. I am also really glad that the guy gave us a brief introduction on the aircraft. It definatly gave it more meaning on the place today. My favorite part was where there was a mini tunnel where when you walk through it was spinning. Kind of felt like I was drunk without the wanting to throw up.
