"If i dont write abt this, i dunno if i shud even write..talk abt the biggest stroke of luck u get..the so non tech person i am, the most unimpressive cv,i tht i cant even think of a chance..forget think, it was definitely a no..i was as not bothered abt this as i am abt the cat exam.."
These were the exact words I typed into my phone in order to make it a blog post when it finally sunk in that I did in fact get an internship at Microsoft.(To be exact, I was walking towards the bus stop with a big smile on my face :D also forgive the sms language but I just didn't feel like changing it in the post.) Things that everyone know, its a dream for anyone who is somewhere close to programming to get into Microsoft. There are other equivalent software companies , yes, but somehow Microsoft always generates this awe filled response, the whole unbelievable aspect about it. But yes, it did happen. I still think getting to the interview part was luck, pure luck and the unending wishes of all my well wishers.
Now that I am here, its already been a week. Sometimes, if I think about how busy it was, it seems to have gone really fast. But then, when I think I have 7 weeks left, it seems way too small a time. I have always wondered about myself about the fact that I adjust to a new place real soon, without having so much as a thought about the people I have left behind. But that has always been proved for a period lesser than 15 days or so. I always thought it was sad that I don't miss people. I really didn't like the fact that you get used to life, something that I emphasized in my last post.
But yeah, I do miss people. When I speak to my friends online or on the phone, I feel that sadness at the back of my mind that I won't see them for 7 weeks. And the point is it is only 7 weeks. But that is actually something I'm happy about. I thought that when I go do an M.S. I might forget the people here, my friends here and all their importance in my life will be lost in oblivion. But its not so. So fine.
Plus, none of us are used to an environment like this. At least, not me. Where you are held responsible for the work you are allotted, albeit not critical but work nonetheless. The point where you have to prove to your own self, prove to your seniors that you are worthy of this internship, not that it really matters to them but it always matters to you to make an impression. Its been a week and I am anxious if my hardworking mentality will transform into actuality, into observable results. Right now, I can only hope.
So yay, a new place did manage to make me write. A poem on the way too(surprising what a wasted sunday can do to you :P ), hopefully, I compensate for the dryness of the blog in the past few months. Till then, toodles.. Have a happy vacation, y'all! :D :)
