Thursday was another full day at the office and I was a total intern. I spent about an hour in the morning helping organize an agent's expense report by putting totals from receipts into an excel spreadsheet. Then I spent the rest of the day in the mail room.
Working in the mail room will help me learn people's names which is awesome and if I can get over my shyness and fear of all the important people then it will definitely be beneficial. We do sweeps of all the floors collecting outgoing mail and interoffice memos and then we sort all of the incoming mail and packages and deliver them. That's it. You repeat that process about 4 or 5 times throughout the day. Whenever you are not out collecting or delivering you are sorting. I know that being an intern involves doing routine work, copies, filing, answering phones etc. Lots of watching/observing/learning. But when they keep us all separated from the rest of the company I don't know how we are going to learn a lot.
It was just the first week for me though, I guess I need to have more patience. I just was hoping that this internship wouldn't just look good on my resume but that it would really help me be better prepared for a job.
On a different note, I spent yesterday at Disneyland which was AWESOME! My friend bought me an annual pass for my birthday so I will probably be going there a lot. I can't help but be super happy at Disneyland, it is truly one of my favorite places in the whole wide world. After we rode Space Mountain my friend was laughing at me because I giggled the whole time, she said it was hilarious. I pretty much giggled more yesterday than I have in a long time. I LOVE me some Disneyland and when it's only an hour away, how am I supposed to resist?
