This week has been fairly busy for me. I have not yet finished my Heritage Research, but have only found like three heritage-related shops. I think it will be fine, though since there is in actuality not very many to be found. Also, Cindy gave me a copy of "The Retirement Times" in which my first published article is included. It was really cool finally seeing it in print along with a picture Cindy put with it. I can definately use that in my portfolio.
I was assigned a big task this week, which I, thankfully, finished today. One thing I have learned is to set goals about when I want to get things done (when their is no set deadline) and it makes me works harder. For example, Cindy didn't say have this done by the end of the week, but I calculated how much time it should take me and set a goal for the end of the week to have it finished. My task was to pick out every ad from the current visitor's guide and then mark each page, mail each business that put an ad out a copy of a letter Cindy wrote telling them there would be a new visitor's guide and please send more business info for ads like last year. I included the letter in the envelope and a copy of the current visitor's guide with their page marked so they could see their ad from last year.
Today I was also offered a job there this summer, but I'm not sure if I can take it. She told me to let her know. So, all in all so far everything has been going really well. I have enjoyed my internship.

Very cool! I need to learn to set goals...usually I just doggedly work until something is done (which can sometimes be detrimental to the work itself). Also, congrats on the job offer! Haha...I need one :-P
ReplyDeleteAw, I wanna write an article, I'm jealous. It's cool that you're setting deadlines for yourself when your boss isn't even requiring them, that shows inititive.
ReplyDeleteWell, it certainly sounds like your supervisor is happy with your work thus far -- congratulations on earning that job offer, even if you don't end up taking it! You're attention to setting--and meeting--personal deadlines is impressive; that's a tough skill for people to learn and to put into practice.
