Basically I am a grandma but get ready.

9:50am – Finish my first iced coffee of the day.
10:00am – Work on handoff document, check status of dev team on Jira, make a new Jira dashboard if I’m feeling hyped, read Splunk news, Splunk certification course, other fun meetings about product management.

8:45pm – Dinner with fam while watching Daily Show (I love you, Trevor Noah).
9:15pm – Take pictures of my cats.

So there ya go. Real life adulting happening. It should be important to note that I have many intern friends and on the weekends I definitely take advantage of the awesome mountains and night life around San Francisco. Surprisingly most of my friends at USC are working in SF at tech companies this summer so I always have people to see and I’m not as socially inactive as this day seems. AND I love what I’m doing. I feel important and that I’m making a difference at Splunk which makes working until 6:30pm a blast instead of a drag.
BUT ALSO I AM SO READY FOR SCHOOL. USC I LOVE YOU AND PLEASE DON’T MAKE ME LEAVE.
My advice to everyone reading this is to sit back and enjoy where you are. It goes by so fast and ugh this is becoming a nostalgic senior post but seriously. We are young and have the entire world in front of us.
