Taking the sunshine along on my adventure
I didn’t realize it before I got here, but I think winter is the best time to do an internship. I got to go to a lot of parties! This might be a reason many companies do not offer winter internships, but I got lucky. There was the annual company holiday party, our group’s holiday happy hour, a new “third Thursday” series of get-togethers, and more. These made my internship more colorful and interesting. On one of our group’s chilly Friday afternoon coffee runs, we walked a few blocks into Philadelphia’s Spring Garden neighborhood to hit the good coffee shop, Café L’Aube, and I learned a new word: mural. The most impressive gathering was my farewell lunch. We went to a Chinese restaurant together. I was impressed with how well everyone used their chopsticks!
