Well, here I am in the middle of week 3 at my internship at Microsoft. It's still a good time; as a program manager in Office Live (project code name: Albany) working on version 2 of a project that doesn't even come out until July, I (theoretically) have a lot of say in what I do. I get to be creative and work with people throughout the company. The work is actually quite interesting. The other interns here, all 800 of them, include some very cool people too. There are a ton of activities going on every weekend, and, weather permitting, I should be able to get a lot of hiking in. I'm still very excited about how this summer is going to turn out!
On a random note - I've decided (once again) to start a regular running routine, a decision influenced partly by my own fattitude, partly by my recent prehypertensive measurements, and mostly by the fact that my friends back in Cambridge apparently do this every morning at 6:30am. If they can do it, so can I! And, surprise, I didn't die today despite running on an empty stomach, though admittedly I ran only 2.5 miles (okay, I ran for something closer to 2.0, but whatever). The route is below. Note my deliberate avoidance of the route going east of my apartment; you can't see it here, but there is an immediate ~300ft drop there as the elevation approaches sea level at the local lake. It's tons of fun to run down, and sheer agony trying to make it back up.
