For my first week overall it was very interesting. There were many highlights and challenges. Some of the highlights were that I was able to actually drive a ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) on my first day. Another highlight was figuring out a project that would benifit the company but at the same time not leave myself doing mundain tasks all day. During this first week I struggled with trying to find out what my role was. At the beginning I was extremely lost mostly due to the fact a lot of the terminology was unfamiliar to myself. There were several tasks that we given to myself that took longer then they should have due to this problem. But by the end of this week I feel much better. I can now find files and input data and actually understand it.

By Thursday I was able to figure out two projects and am starting to feel comfortable. I hope that next week will be as smooth and as much of a learning experience as the first week was.
