Category: Internships

Dear gentle reader: this blog has been operating continuously since I was a teenager. The writing below is at least a decade old.

Can’t post this yet because our interweb is dead, but let it here be recorded that today I got a full-time summer internship. It pays eight bucks and it’s working with databases, and in no part of that can I see anything bad for my resume. Plus I’ll get used to the (possible) monotony and stress of having a real job, which will only make me more grateful to be back in school in the fall.

Also today, I got the CS department’s “outstanding senior” award. What?
