Diary of a Summer Intern
August 16, 2010
Wait a minute...is it mid-August already?! The summer is really flying by, and I'm officially entering the last few weeks of my internship! :( I have been having such an awesome time working for Google and am really growing accustomed to life as an employee of the company. That's the thing about intern
ing for Google: they treat you just like a full-time Googler. Of course this is really great. I am giving lots of responsibility in my projects and get to take full advantage of all of the perks like the free food and the free transportation to and from work. At the same time, this makes it so easy to get comfortable and just completely fall in love with the company. But I have just 2 weeks left and need to start to prepare for my departure.
So now it is crunch time. I have been working on multiple projects this summer, and now that things are winding down, it's very important for me to finish up everything and tie any loose ends on what I've been assigned to. For most of my projects this involves giving final presentations to managers and clients or passing off any ongoing work to other people.
All in all this time is very bitter sweet. It's excitign to think I will soo be returning to my friends at Washington University where I got to school, but it's going to be extremely hard to say goodbye to my amazing team and manager at YouTube, the BOLD Program leaders, my mentor, and of course my Google BOLD intern family. Between now and my last day of work I am just going to soak it all in and enjoy every last minute.
Thanks for following me this far, everyone! I hope you have enjoyed reading these posts as much as I have enjoyed writing them!
Googley Cheers from Silicon Valley!

P.S. I totally forgot to tell you guys - my team is the one that owrked on the live stream concert for Arcade Fire which aired August 5th from Madison Square Garden on YouTube.com! I hope you all got to see it. It was actually trending worldwide on Twitter! Yay YouTube! (www.youtube.com/arcadefirevevo)
