Day 100-104: The Rollercoaster

Day 100

This is what I looked like on the 100th day of school of my Senior Year. It really depresses me to think about it. I have only fourteen weeks left. I have so much to do till then.

Today also sucked in case you were wondering.

Day 101

All of the love that my friends have for me being taken out in a picture.

Today also sucked. Not a surprise, right?


Day 102

That is me falling. We all fall. Sometimes we keep on falling and sometimes we hit the bottom, but on rare occasions we keep on falling.

Today was also bad.

Day 103

I went to Google. That really happened. That picture is real. There is actually a type because my school did not actually go, but the charter school, WPA, did and I was just a guest on the trip. So to a technicality, that picture should just be for me because I was the only one from my school there. 

Let me tell you that this place is perfect. Everything about it is amazing. The food is amazing, the job is great, and the people are awesome. I met one of the Vice Presidents, Udi Manber,and I had lunch with him. 

I feel like my life has been changing. I met two people in particular that I cannot remember the name of, but I felt like I have received so much insight about life and what I want to do and what I love to do. Those two people I will not forget, even though I have forgotten their names. Thanks to them, I have decided that I am going to get a minor in computer science.

The first person that I met is a lead searcher for Google. The way her thought process works and mine are the same. I felt like I cold actually talk to someone who does not feel confused when I speak. I related how music theory is relative to searching. It was like meeting an older, female, Jewish version of myself.

The second important person that I met was the guy who designed the Google Street View bike. It turns out that he was a Music Major at UC Berkeley till one night his Mechanical Engineering roommates were working on their senior projects that he stayed up all night trying his hand at it that the next day he changed his major, after three years of music at Berkeley. 

Mr. Manber was really cool too because I got to know his back story and how he was there at the conception of Google.

At the end of the trip before we got on the bus to go back home he asked if there were any questions and I asked this, "Can I have a job?" He said if "If you try hard enough."

Day 104

What is the most ridiculous face that I can make? Not this one. I can make even more ridiculous faces, but I felt like making one to liven up the spirits.

For the record, today sucked.
