Hi guys,
I hope you all are doing well. We have been having a crazy summer and I think the best is yet to come. Despite the constant drizzle here, there has been a lot of sunshine in the office. Last week we had a fondue get together during which the interns got to socialize with more Googlers outside of our project team. To say the least, the spread was pretty amazing. Dried fruit, chopped up bananas, strawberries, pineapple and fortune cookies lined a table with a huge bowl of melted milk chocolate at the end. We have the fondue every Thursday afternoon but this Thursday the spotlight was on us and I had fun meeting people. HR did a really good job with this one but I think the best intern event this summer will be the kayaking offsite planned for next week. I am actually a little nervous about it as the weather has not warmed up yet and I do not want to end up in the cold water. But, it will be a grand adventure either way.
In addition to the fondue, a lot of other interesting events took place: I found out that I will be featured in a national magazine. The article will be about my internship at Google and the magazine wants to come to the office to set up a photo shoot. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would get to do something so fun but I am super excited to see what the article will be like when it comes out.
Unfortunately, not everything that happened last week was a good thing. For the last 24 days, I have been doing something called "The 30-Day Challenge" at a local yoga studio. The goal is to take 30 classes in 30 days. At the end you get a free t-shirt and 5 free classes. I was super excited about it until the day before yesterday. I interlaced my fingers to do the typical yoga headstand, but I kicked too hard on the way up and ended up rolling over my interlaced fingers. Upon rolling over them, all of them popped and I was so afraid I had broken them. There is no way I would be able to type if I broke all my fingers. :( Luckily, they were just sprained so it has not affected work too much.
Speaking of work, I have been having a lot of fun working on my project . For the last week, I have been working on the code that will act as the mediator between the UI and the database. It has been really cool seeing it come together. Unfortunately, as it is the middle layer it is harder to test without the other parts but I have been working on unit tests and I hope to have the patch submitted soon. Last week, I worked on a notification and the protocol of the synced session. With these patches and the work I hope to do in the next couple days, I am looking forward to having a demo in the next week or so.
Well, that about sums up what I have been doing.
Hope you all had a good holiday,
Jerr
I'll just leave you with one last thing... A Random Google Fact: There is a rock wall and a milkshake station in the Google Kirkland office.
