WOW - can't believe it's already mid-January already! The past few weeks have be a flurry of internship-related activity. The first week of January I hosted CBS's first annual West Coast Healthcare Trek and we visited several of the top healthcare companies in the Bay Area. Visits included Gilead, Medtronic, Intuitive Surgical, Novartis... just to name a few!
I flew back to NYC about a week ago to prepare myself to interview craziness. Last week, I had two interviews and this week, I'll have a whole bunch more. It was kind of unnerving to sit on that side of the table again (after a few years of being the interviewer!), but I guess it's kind of like riding a bike -- after a few, you're back in the hang of it!
Being back in SF for the last few weeks definitely makes me miss home a lot more. As I spend more and more time out here, I grow increasingly fond of NYC but I'm also learning more about myself and realizing all the things I took for granted living out in the West Coast.
.... like mild winters! As winter-weather takes over the city, I can't help but wish I was back in California! Yesterday it reached 18 degrees. It's so cold now that you'd be absolutely CRAZY to leave the apartment without gloves, a thick scarf, a comfy beanie or earmuffs and Ugg boots. Most of the time when I'm walking around I zip my jacket all the way up and then sink my face into the collar so that only my eyes are showing. My friends joke that this is just the start, but I honestly can't imagine it getting any colder outside! I was not built for this kind of weather!!
Anyway, just wanted to provide a quick update on me. I'll try to post again after this week is over to sum up all my interviewing craziness.
Hope everyone's 2012 is off to a good start :)
Cheers,
Vi
