Well, I'm only up here in Redmond for one more week. What a trip it's been. This week, I'll be singing in an A Cappella group and a Barbershop group at the intern talent show. If I can get pictures, I'll try to post them :). As for what comes next? Well, I'm looking forward to next semester at Berkeley, and I've got some great vacation plans for the rest of the summer. Unfortuntely, between my internship and vacation, I'm barely getting any time to spend with friends back home. I miss y'all, and hopefully I'll get a chance to see you during the year if not during my short breaks between internship and vacation and vacation and school.
I'm also looking forward to seeing my Berkeley friends again. It's hard to believe 3 months went by so quickly.

Anyhow, best wishes to all. I know good times are ahead.

Well, as predicted (I must have inside info :)) there's now more of my content on the Acropolis Website (see link). Internship's going well, and I'm having a great time. I can't believe I've only got about 3 weeks left. It went so fast!! Nonetheless, it's been a lot of fun, and it's hard to form a legitimate complaint about working hard when it's where my interests/drive/etc. are taking me. It's been quite a summer, and I've been very pleased with my decision to return for my second internship this summer.

Next semester is bound to be an interesting one for me, as it's my last undergrad semester. I'm trying to arrange it so that I only have class 3 days/week, which would be amazing. I'll finally have time to explore some of my own projects, visit home more often, and maybe just relax a little bit. On top of all of that, the classes I'm taking sound like they'll be really interesting. What a life... Microsoft and Berkeley: quite a combination.

Well, I'm up here at Microsoft, and having a great time. I figure now's as good a time as any to actually try to use my website for blogging :). For those of you who are curious, here's the project I've been working on, called Acropolis:

You'll notice on that page a few videos that I produced as tutorials on our product! Yep, my involvement as an intern at MS is public now!

I'm sure there will be more to come... In the meantime, I'm having an incredible time up here, and looking forward to what's to come! I'll be up here at Microsoft until August 3, and then it's less than a month until I'm back at Berkeley. During that time, I'll be visiting family in Israel, and vacationing in Turkey. Microsoft, travel, preparation for school... Makes for quite a summer!
