Today is Monday. After going to my two
morning classes, I made my way to the career fair talking place right outside
the halls of San Nic. I made my way to the EOP which is the Education
Opportunity Program. taking to the lady who ran the booth I listened to all the
things the career office. There are plenty of internships both domestic and
abroad. As a mechanical engineer and a person who takes great interest in
Japanese culture I was glad to hear of the education abroad program. This
information also coincides with what I learned on the day we went to the SRB,
or Student Resource Building, as a class. At the SRB I learned of the Asian
resource room as well as the other ethnic study rooms. Although I am not
completely certain I know what they are used for, it is nice to know that there are places like
these that I can go and utilize to study. One thing that I learned from the
visit that I will defiantly be taking advantage of is the small library they
offer in the center. When the main Davis library begins to fill up during the
school it is nice to know that there is this relatively obscure place to go and study. On another
note, asking the advisors there about things to look out for as a mechanical
engineer, I learned more about the computer facilities located on compass. I originally
only knew of the computer lab located in the middle of the Engi 2 building
quad, but now I also know of the one tucked into the corner behind Frank Hall.

Introduction
Hello
my name is Kevin Weia. Many of my old friends often refer to me by my last name
because there are a ridiculous amount of Kevins at my old school. I really
enjoy going out and exercising my freedom but having the occasional down time
is not bad either. One thing I really value is my friends and my surrounding
peers, but I understand the importance of a good education. I have always
striven to find that perfect balance between the things do. Whether it be
hanging out with friends, studying with friends, studying alone, or just having
some time to rest. I am currently a in the engineering field as a mechanical
engineer, but one of my favorite subjects physics and the study of flight and
lift. I hope to someday achieve a higher education in aerospace
engineering or astrophysics. If I had the choice to change my major to
aerospace though, (not a major that UCSB currently offers), I wouldn't do so because
I am still a young boy and I know that as I learn more about the way things
work and gain a better grasp of the scientific world I will definitely have new
sparks of interest. As a mechanical
engineer, I can build myself a solid foundation on which I can base my future
upon. I really look forward to my next four years here in UCSB. I have only
been here for less than two weeks, and I have met so many wonderful people. I cannot
even fathom how school life will be when the fall quarter starts.
