Internship final tasks

The challenge for the last few weeks has been a technological one. My computer began to overheat and shut itself down before the motherboard could be damaged. Upon replacing the video card, cleaning fans and checking temperatures I found that my system is still running hot. At this point, it looks like a new motherboard, power source, and memory will be required. Until then I'm working on a laptop that doesn't have a battery. 

I know invariably that at some point something similar will occur at work and I'll need to find another source of technology to complete my work. Though it is highly inconvenient, it does occur and as an IT it helps to have backups. Worst case scenario for me is to have to use my husband's computer, which has no programs that I regularly use, such as Photoshop. 

As I end my internship I'm trying to make sure I have all the documents in place and ready to go. I'm excited to venture out and begin to secure a posting suited to my expertise. 

One item I will continue is to train on Microsoft and secure some certifications other than the MIE certification. I believe it will make me a stronger IT and serve me in many ways. 

This internship has been very enjoyable, even with all the challenges. With recent events of losing my mother amongst other stressors, this class has given me a needed escape. 

I can't begin to convey my thanks to Tran and Dr. Vafa for their understanding with my situation and help as I work through this semester.
