I finished my first week at HP, which is week 1 of training. And boy am I glad it is over. Not because it is hard, because it was stressful. I'm new to this whole job thing, and I was worried I might blow my chances if I wasn't careful... but with week 1 complete, I feel more confident in my abilities.

As for training itself... it's honestly so boring that I am barely able to pay attention. They are going over pretty basic concepts by my standards at a snails pace, for the laymens to be able to grasp. I understand why, but for someone like me, I could pretty much skim though the powerpoint and understand everything (and I tend to do just that, before progressing along it at the teacher's rate). Thankfully we start C programming next week, and hopefully by then, there will be enough substance there that I won't get bored.

In other news, my foot is recovering nicely. It feels kinda weak and a little stiff, but I am more or less walk normally on it now. Just trying to build my strength in it back up now. A week of doing almost nothing has really done a number on that front.

Finally, I'm doing an Ask Me Anything thingy for fun on this journal, in celebration of finishing week 1 of my first job!
