Alive in SF

I move in on a Saturday. I come down with the flu that Monday night that's so bad I miss my second day of work. How can it get worse? I get a cold shortly after starting to recover from the flu. I didn't consider myself basically over all of my illnesses until the US Thanksgiving holiday weekend. My first month living in downtown SF and I fall ill to the point that I don't get to go out and take advantage of the situation.

But I tried to make up for it the first week I was ill. I went to a San Jose Sharks game with other Google interns the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. Although throughout the game we were constantly shifting seats out of mix-ups with sitting in the wrong seats, it was still fun. Took CalTrain for the first time; 1.5 hours to get to the downtown SF station from HP Pavilion.

Wednesday I attended the Python SF Meetup. While the beginning of the meeting was a little slow as I didn't know anyone there, the talk was good. Plus I stuck around until they kicked us out talking with various people which was great. Python 3.0 was also released that day which was a big deal for Python in general and for me since since I put a lot of work into it.

Thursday was clothes shopping with my friend Anna. Ended up with a pair of Ever designer jeans from Bloomingdales.

Friday was the SF Google Xmas party for my teams and others that fall within a larger group. Took Anna along so I didn't go stag. It was held at Medjool in the Mission. The view from the roof was great. After Google's time at the club ended and the vibe didn't go the way we wanted, Anna and I walked down the street to Bruno's and danced for a couple of hours. Have not had a chance to do that in a while and it was a lot of fun.

Saturday was sleeping. =) Accidentally slept in until 14:00. Eventually got out of the apartment and did some work on my thesis proposal and a Python project.

Sunday was brunch with Henry and Sandy in Chinatown. I also got a bunch of work done on a Python project.

Today was my first session with a personal trainer at the gym. While I didn't work up a sweat, I am sore; session was about strength measurement.

Work has been fine. Last week I was getting frustrated with what I was working on as none of the solutions I tried were working. Hopefully I can figure something out this week as I want to move on to the next part of the solution.
