Sounds exhausting! I barely felt like I made it through college some days, studying for my degree in Software Engineering, to cram a huge chunk of that work into just six months is intense!

On a side note, when you said "build a BBQ" I knew you were from Portland before even glancing at your profile blurb on the right - We're the only ones who call grills "BBQs" and it's been the funniest thing to get used to saying "grill" now that I live in Texas!!

I thought so too!! But my boyfriend from New York was like "what, you mean a grill?" when I first met him and said it. I'm finally getting used to it and I've been in Texas for a year lol

In California, BBQ could describe food or it doesn't sound wrong to use it for "grill."
Now saying "pop" instead of soda is just plain wrong.
