Internship at college

I'm at college for the summer not for summer session but for a programming internship. The goal is for me to design an application that connects with a SQL server that is to read in comma delimited data and generate the appropriate tables and columns. The data is also to be represented via a standard x/y coordinate graph. All of this is to work together, with the application grabbing data from the server and exporting it to be graphed (in my plan anyway..)

Tools I'm using are Visual Studio 2008 Express as well as sql server 2005 express. I plan on using crystal reports to handle the graphs. I've taken python and an intro class to c++ back in high school so I think I can handle this. I'm planning on learning C# and some T-SQL to complete said project by september. Is this realistic? any suggestions?

The express site came with some good tutorials that basically sets up the code foundation for the application -> server integration, but I can only see long nights from this point onward

I took a class in ENTERPRISE, and the impression I got from the instructor is that he was blissfully unaware that he wasn't taking this stuff seriously. Everything about his attitude said he even enjoyed it, but when he had us make some of the graphs involved in whatever methodology we were on, it became clear that he didn't have the haziest idea what it was supposed to look like or whether we were close: indeed, he didn't seem to be aware that it was supposed to conform to any standard in particular.

My working theory is that the people who keep this sort of thing afloat operate in much the same manner — some sort of Enterprise Free-association Autopilot engages during enterprise communication and then they go do whatever it is they meant to do, secure in the knowledge that their hindbrain is following best practices.

OMG would be some meta-organism using their best-practice glands as its substrate. That leaves the question of what kind of person actually cooks these things up in the air, but I think it's a start.
