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 back on Wednesday nights, when my mentor Tracey comes in to be the awesome dorm surrogate as she is. Because she is there, my work time automatically counts because someone’s watching me. I’m so glad that I came up with that solution. It’s always fun working with Tracey, and the working environment is even more relaxed in my own dorm. It’s just fantastic to work in such a great environment with awesome people around me. I think I start to know what I should do when there’s nothing I can do, and I balance work/play better. By “nothing I can do” I mean sometimes there isn’t anything the three of us can do, so I would just head to folding napkins because it seems I will never be able to finish. Everything I do definitely helps me to get the feeling of working in an office, it gives me the essential experience and maybe the chance to think is this what I really want to do.
