Off Campus

With the combination of seniors and noobs in the class has come a review of where the learning began for me. This week's focus in class has been on basic electrical concepts. Since last year (when I was a noob) I have come a long way in my understanding of electricity. As soon as I began to learn about it I decided that this was my path. The internship with Whatcom Electric. that soon followed has taken me so much further towards certainty of my decision. The necessity of technical and specific understanding in my workplace has driven me to read technical manuals on alternators... of my own volition. I'm in love.

My workbench with ten nearly finished starters and a lovely lady calendar to keep me going.

Needless to say, this week in class has been a breeze. But it is also a welcome reminder that this level (ground referenced voltage testing) is something I can handle without pause. It's nice to be able to execute tasks without having to take much time to process what I'm doing. I'm also looking forward to revisiting the starting-charging system test now that I have absolute comprehension of what I'm doing.
