Weeks 1-2 of Facebook internship (out of 12)

Got back to California just in time for PHHS's math team party!

Followed by Facebook's intern orientation in their Menlo Park HQ!

We sat in this room and listened to many people talk.

There's too much food in the offices. Hopefully I won't become fat this summer!

After the week-long orientation ended, there was a Rubik's cube competition in Sunnyvale!

Then it was off to Facebook in Seattle!

Breakfast in the cafe on the first day!

The cafe has a nice view.

Two graduations in one week

I graduated from Princeton on Tuesday. Making it through the commencement ceremony was probably the hardest thing I had to do to get my diploma. We sat in the hot hot sun for hours while important people talked (either in English or in Latin). I solved my 8x8 once but then the puzzle got too hot (!) so I put it away.

It was super sunny! Luckily I had my hat.

After surviving that morning, Princeton kicked us out so I went to visit some friends in Boston. On Thursday, I attended the number theory conference at BU in honor of Glenn Stevens's 60th birthday. (Prof. Stevens founded PROMYS.)

Conference banquet!

Also on Thursday, I sent an email to some friends in Boston asking if they were free on Friday. One of the conversations went like this.

Me: I'm in Boston! Are you free on Friday?
Rachel: ... Friday is our graduation!
Me: !!

Congratulations!

Also, Jennifer and I made scallion pancakes! We need to figure out how to make them layered though...
