My Awesome Summer

This is one of the most exciting summers I've ever had in my life. Having an internship at NVIDIA, and spending 3 months in the bay area really rock. There are at least 100 MIT interns in the bay area. We hung out together. San Jose was just like another MIT campus. Here is a calender stating all the fascinating things we did this summer. The pictures can be found here or you can click on the individual links below.
