Word on the street

I totally underestimated this internship. I was well aware of the cirriculum, but it's just different when you actually get t meet the fellow interns and talk, like really talk. Everyone is so different than what I expected. Not that I thought they would be bland, I just didn't expect everyone to be so similar to me, they're from all over the nation too!

Anyhow...

The ED of OCA spoke with us last Friday and had termed us as "ahead of the curve." I've been hearing that a lot lately; how we have this internship programs and are attending the CAPAL workshops. It's pretty much like word on the street is you're ahead of the curve kind of deal.It really does help us to network more and give us a chance to meet interesting, powerful and full on inspirational people. I am really glad that Amaris pushes me to attend those sorts of things. I learn a lot too, and get free food (: Tonight's workshop was about cyber security, I thought it would be boring, but it was actually really informative. Made me realize a lot.

In other news National CAPACD's convention is coming up, so this week is crunch time! Hopefully everything gets finalized in time. I'm really excited for the conventions. This year's theme is building the future. It's a gathering of API community leaders from all over then country, including some people from the Hill! Can't wait to see it all come together and see our hard work pay off. Be back soon!
