Day 5


 Today we counted chairs in the theater and made sure the names on the chairs are correct. Other than that we also did alum research, which is basically looking up the alums and putting down a link that introduces them so some of them could be in the latest Proctor magazine. Some of them are just impossible to find. I did find the rest of them, and it’s just fantastic to see what they are doing now. It’s so subtle to see people who graduated from the very same high school I go to doing different jobs and living their lives out there. I went to work at 9:45 and worked to 11:15, and came back at 12:30 and worked to 3. So that is 4 hrs, and the total hours is 25hrs 15mins.

    Agree with your observation regarding alumni doing different jobs and how "fantastic" it is to see what they are doing now. One of my favorite things working in the Alumni Office.

Weekly reflection #1

 It’s hard to believe it’s been a week! It’s been great so far, and everything is so different from what I expected. I’ve been doing errands and I jokingly call myself an intern, because that’s what interns do—things the others don’t want to do. I didn’t know that’s what newbies do so that’s something new. But I like what I’ve been doing so far, because it’s realistic: I will do things like those if I were an actual employee. I think this week really gives me experience on what to expect in a real work environment, which is precious. My goal is to learn what it feels like to work, so what I learnt so far definitely helps.

Weekly reflection #2

  It’s crazy that another week has passed by. This week is somehow way faster than last week, probably because I’m getting used to the work I’m doing. It’s really interesting in fact, although we call ourselves “interns” I still found pleasure in doing small but useful things. They make me feel my value (not trying to say doing errands is the only thing I can do). For sure there are greater things waiting ahead, but it’s nice to get started on small things. I learnt there are different sizes of letter envelopes this week, and sometimes people put the smaller ones to bigger envelopes so whoever gets the mail can put either cash or paychecks in them. There are surprises too, because things don’t always go as planned. Sometimes I have games or early practices, so I have to leave early accordingly. That means I won’t have enough hours in. That frustrates me because I hate it when things don’t go as planned, but obviously I can’t skip practice or games. My solution is to get my hours ba...

Day 12

 It's the last day of working in the Development Department. We didn't do much today, just working together to put sheets into envelopes and seal them, and moving stuff to the locker room. Thank god no more folding napkins. Feels like just another day but there will be no more days like this, it's definitely a weird feeling. We had a celebration lunch to celebrate everything we've done during our senior project, it was takeout from Tuckers. I'm grateful of everything they've done for me actually, they put up with me the whole time. By today I have 55 hrs 15 mins, and that's the end of my senior project.
