My last day at Google MTV

Today was my last day at Google in Mountain View.  I'm going to wrap up a few things in the next week while I'm in New York.  So my official last day will be on Friday, August 12.  It was a pretty busy day though and I actually missed lunch with my team and it was supposed to be my farewell lunch.  However, we had our team outing which was at the nearby aquatic park.  Stephen planned it and it was a lot of fun.  We played a version of waterpolo but in kayaks on the lake.  I also did a sack race for the first time.

It was weird to say goodbye to everyone.  Philippa was really nice. She gave me all these hello kitty school supplies. I thought it was very thoughtful of her even though we didn't get a chance to chat that much during work. I still can't believe that I'm leaving Google. Most b-school applicants quit their jobs early and wanted to leave their companies. I'm trying to quit my job as close to the start of school and I want to go back. People say that it's because I'm comfortable there and don't like change.  That is true, but at the same time, I recognize that I work at an awesome company. So in this case, I don't think it's comfort and risk aversion.
