Trip to Sunnyvale
So now I’m officially a Yahoo! Intern. I’ll be working in Santa Monica for the summer, and it looks like I’ll be starting with re-working a site to be more iPhone compliant, which should be a lot of fun, and definitely a good learning experience.
For the last week I’ve been in Sunnyvale, training at the main Yahoo headquarters. It’s been a long long week for me, but it’s been really educational (class from 10am-6pm daily).
There’s a LOT of asian food around here, so dinner everyday has been quite interesting. Monday I had Thai, Tuesday I had Korean, Wednesday I had Indian. Thursday I ate at an intern party, so I just had a boba at a Chinese place. Friday I had Mexican, which isn’t asian, and it’s not really a change from my normal eating, but it was still different. Surprisingly, it was Mexican that gave my stomach the most problems, but I won’t go into detail on that…
Saturday I got some pizza delivered to my room, and today, Sunday, I went to the hotel BBQ for lunch, and will probably be going back for more for dinner.
I’ve been staying indoors for the weekend - it’s just too hot to do anything. I went for a walk Saturday, but came back sweating a lot. Today I left the room just to go to the BBQ.
Tomorrow will be my official orientation, after which I jump on my flight, and maybe make it back in time for dinner. The day after that, I start in Santa Monica
