Oh yeah, one more day to go and my internship is over! I don't know what I'm going to do, who I'll do it with, or where I'll be doing it, but I know that it will be something other than sitting in front of a computer. During these last two weeks I've had nothing but work on the brain. Imagined perl scripts floating around in my head when I toss and turn at night. Database design in the shower. XSLT on my bike on the way to work. But I guess I'm not a true geek, because this actually bothers me a bit. I have this nagging feeling that I've left something behind, lost sight of something essential. Reality, perhaps? It's kind of a bad word around here these days but it's the best word there is for it.
After having bled at the ears over this last project of mine (I deserve no sympathy, I know, because as we discussed before it's my own damn fault for caring so much about my work), tomorrow will hopefully be a pretty laid back day at work. As is the tradition in my department, I'm throwing a small going-away party for all the other peeps, which includes cake and junk food and sect to drink and stuff. Then in the evening I'm going to see Jean-Yves Thibaudet play at the Prinzenregenten Theater. The weekend belongs to the murky (and possibility-laden) future but it will probably involve some unleashed craziness.
Stay tuned for more details.
