Day2 of Internship

Any of you remember reading the Google article that said its Search bot would go through your site once in several days or if you were a really popular site/generated a lot of content the bot would visit more often? Now i dont update daily nor do i think having 2(this number is unverifiable but probably true) readers constitutes me being popular. So imagine my horror when my blog post about my previous day shows up in Google Alerts about an hour after i created the alert!! I'm sitting there thinking "OMG!! What did i ever do to you Google??" Sure enough, within the next coupla hours, i get a friendly acknowledgement of my blog post. Somebody work out yet how to get the earth to open up and swallow you??

Lesson of the Day: Do not blog about interning company till you are well out of the way.

Anyway, it was another interesting day where i got to talk to the Content team, saw the studio where lessons are taught/broadcast and went through the process of what happens when and how. I was scheduled to go in today and take a look at a live session, but i am sick and feverish, and so decided to rest. I have a long trip back home tomorrow with assignments and papers due all next week.

Went out for lunch with the tech team in the afternoon. Went to this Istanbul Grill restaurant where the food was awesome! Little adventure in getting there because we walked to the place, it was freezin cold, and we weren't sure about the directions. Eventually though, we did make it and the trip was well worth it. My tab was picked up and A Big Thank You to Chris for that. The tech team is a fun bunch and lunch was a thoroughly enjoyable affair.

Was scheduled to have meetings in the afternoon but big happenings meant i couldnt get my meeting as such. I did get to speak to the anti-christ but it was more an informal affair. I also spoke to Dahn a bit. I have a couple of concerns that i should have asked but i didnt. I guess its back to e-mail which, in some ways i prefer because it gives me time to think and put down my points. Yet, i think i would have been far more relaxed had i resolved these issues.

I leave to go back tomorrow and my NY trip, with the exception of the annoying fever, has been interesting. I wish i could have seen more but there's always next time. The office is next to the Hudson river, and i wanted to walk down and take a snap but the cold acted as a huge deterrent. Seriously, next time i have lots of catching up to do.

My sis got into Harvard School of public Health which is huge for us! She also got into Johns Hopkins and the LSHTM. She is the first doc on both sides of the family.

Needless to say, I have a lot of catching up to do.
