All Hallow's Eve.

Tomorrow's the BIG DAY! This entire week was a bustle of shipping off my necessary belongings, disseminating the unwanted and old as nostalgic parting gifts, and making sure my luggage is completely set and ready to go. I can't believe they have me hopping a plane on Halloween, but considering the opportunity here, to be one of a group of engineers working on "top secret" new water desalination methods , I guess I can't complain too much. I think I'm the youngest on the team, and some of these people have been pulled from really interesting fields. We've got our normal variety of chemists, toxicologists, biologists, etcetera, but they've also got some sort of super phlebotomist whose made quite the impact in pharmaceuticals, which confuses me entirely, and I think there's even a neurosurgeon involved. Whatever; this is an internship that couldn't be passed up: *COMPANY NAME DELETED* is taking me off this godforsaken island and transplanting me into the heart of an industry that's tough to get a solid foothold on, and I'm jumping!
