216: Money 😭
This is the order for PCBs we placed today: slightly cooked.

We ordered everything for Wind Power today, which is awesome, I'm really looking forwards to those boards coming in, but damn if it wasn't more expensive than I thought.

To be fair, it isn't my money, we have a substantial club budget, and the budget for my team is a lot higher than what we actually spent today, but spending money, especially when it's more than I thought, always gives me pause.

I did like 8 hours of Wind Power today, because I was at the hangar working from ~12 to ~6, and then after I got home and ate dinner I did another couple hours of work getting all of the parts that aren't included in that PCB manufacturing order put together.

I can't wait for this not to be my job anymore. It's fun, and I honestly didn't have that much more to be doing today, but I am so burnt out right now, from this and everything else going on.


I'm writing this one pretty early, because I have that Italian cultural exchange program tomorrow morning (which will be awesome, I think), but it's at 8:15 AM 😭.

I'm writing this one early (it's 11 PM) so I can maybe get a reasonable amount of sleep, but I'll still probably have a monster tomorrow morning.

I really didn't do anything else today honestly, so I don't have much to talk about, and that's okay.

I think my posts have gotten shorter as I've gotten busier (on average).
