Darthula called and talked to Will first and then later in the day I called and set up an informational interview with him for the 18th. I enjoyed talking to Will a lot! he shared some personal information about welding and some of his experiences along with asking me some questions about my own special interest. I think that the call went very well!]]> 2023-04-07 18:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/RenVerdone/pmmanc3afbfedgmy/wish/2547331029 4/18/23 RenVerdone https://padlet.com/RenVerdone/pmmanc3afbfedgmy/wish/2559536693 Today I had my first informational interview. I am grateful because Darthula took time out of her day to come with me. We went to RISD and interviewed Will reeves and his close friend. Both of them gave me great advice and I am happy to say I had a lot of fun getting to know more about people with similar passions to me. We talked about things like what a day was like working in the sculpture welding shop, What they wanted to be growing up, their future plans, and more. I am hoping to do a shadow day at RISD next time so I can learn more about what their day is like and what they do there. I am excited to have more opportunities with them in the future. ]]> 2023-04-19 03:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/RenVerdone/pmmanc3afbfedgmy/wish/2559536693 4/25/23 RenVerdone https://padlet.com/RenVerdone/pmmanc3afbfedgmy/wish/2568798256 Today I made my second, third, and fourth calls!

At Capco, I have done the bend test vertically and horizontally. I have also cut and measured metals, as well as learning how to read and understand some blueprints. I am hoping to be able to work with Capco until my graduation from the met.

They had multiple guest speakers come in and talk about their personal experiences that also had to do with these topics. I appreciated the class because I learned how to become more responsible with savings.

I am currently very happy with how it is turning out. Along the way of building my creation, with some help from Jeremy, I have learned so many new skills that I hope will benefit me further in my future work place. I now know how to use gas and oxygen to cut metal, and how to map out a bench correctly so that it comes out good!

It was supposedly their "advanced" welding course... However, I feel that this was a mistake. Whenever I am in this class I feel like I already know most of the things we are discussing or practicing and that this is a waste of my time. I told the professor I was only doing this class for the school credits- Easy money. However, he is beginning to use me as the "Demo Instructor" as he says, I am not too fond.
