Today was better. I got to present the project I've been working on all
summer to a bunch of intimidating people from around the office. The cool
part of that was that I got to have some technical conversations with nice
people. I'm planning to attend my first professional (as in, related to my
work) conference soon — a free conference sponsored by my company.

The thing with this internship is that it's exposing me to a lot of very
specialized tools and methodologies and I'm not at a point where I can say
for sure what *I* actually want to specialize in, so I want to hear about
a really broad range of specialities and really get a feel what it's like
to work in them.

I hope someday an employer will sponsor me to attend PyCon.

I'm so *boring* right now, but I feel like I'm getting closer to certain
things I need in life, and that's good. I'm starting to kinda wrap my head
around the use of containers. That's kind of a nightmare at a certain
level; the work another intern was presenting involved VMs deployed in
containers in a VM…

I'm really curious about game development but I always hear how game
developers face job insecurity and have to pull consecutive all-nighters to
meet arbitrary deadlines and basically never see their families. Otherwise
I'd be interested.
