Diary of a Summer Intern
August 3rd, 2010 | Published in Google Student Blog
Hi Everyone!
The past two weeks have really flown by like usual. My last post was really internship-focused so I’m excited to update you all on the more fun and Googley things I have been up to with the interns.
This week the Google BOLD Internship Program organized an event for all of us to go see a San Francisco Giants baseball game! It was so much fun. Our managers and our mentors were invited to go along with us. Our mentors are full-time Googlers that we are matched up with in the company who are there to support us and answer our questions throughout the summer. The Giants were playing the New York Mets and won, so it was a lot of fun to cheer for the home team that night. Also, it was two of the interns birthdays that week, Alec and Carolina, so the BOLD interns paid to have a Happy Birthday Alec and Carolina message go up on the score board during the game! If that isn’t intern camaraderie, I don’t know what is!
Another recent fun outing with the interns was a trip to see the musical Wicked in downtown San Francisco. About 50 interns went. We had a few sing-alongs before the show to make sure we could be prepared to mouth the words along with the actors as they sang. I particularly loved the musical because it’s a twist on the story the Wizard of Oz, which took place in Kansas. Being a Kansan, I was super excited to see how this show would change up the plot line of my state’s claim to fame - and it was great!
In addition to going to a Giant’s game and a musical, I was able to visit the Golden Gate Bridge. It would be a shame to be in the bay area and not see it, right?!
Well those are all my updates for now. Next week I will be participating in a bone marrow registration event that one of the BOLD Interns named Akila is putting together.
I will also be presenting to one of YouTube’s clients early next week, so I have to make sure to take time to prepare.
Oh, and one other fun work update. One of the producers on my team just launched the pre-site for a live stream on YouTube.com of an Arcade Fire concert directed by Terry Gilliam! There will be other shows to come in this concert series called Unstaged. Get excited as more artists are announced throughout the year! Check it all out at www.youtube.com/arcadefirevevo.
Until next time!
