So, my two month-long internship is finally coming to an end… in two days. Boy, has it been a ride! From absolute garbage trash to, well… to bearable. It started okay, what with being crammed into a barely ventilated room with 200 people. From there I got into a car crash. Good times. I mean, what’s there not to like?

I can’t lie though; it’s been good reaping all these experiences. I got more than I expected. I interned in 2 branches of the company—one for each month (minus the time I spent at home with a banged up chin). I gained a whole load of knowledge on various things and I’ve added these to my internship report. And anyway, you probably don’t want to know how I created a virtual machine that broke into the Chinese government. NOT. Lol. Only one part is true.

So basically I want to talk about how it took me 2 months to adjust to the whole routine of internship. I really resisted and battled and hated internship with my LIFE. Only some things made it bearable. If I’d just accepted the way of things sooner (being stuck doing nothing, twiddling my thumbs, picking my nails), I’d probably have been better off.

Routines are basically how we live our lives. By default. Or not. If you’re definitely going to be spending a lot of time in some place (like I was), you should probably suck it up and deal with it. Seriously. I’m thinking back and realizing I probably came off as a petulant, stuck up kid. I just wasn’t ready to accept the circumstances and live with it.

I know I’m saying all this, but I wouldn’t go back and change a thing I did, lol. I had a balanced time there. Some moments were really good. Especially the time that I completely gave up and left the work place to have a moment of solitude at school. I’m kidding. There were way better times.

If you’re doing something in a work place for the first time, chances are you’re going to be doing it multiple times again. What’s there to fear anyway? I’m not a bad student, and neither would I actively be a horrible employee. Besides, we learn from our mistakes.

It’s probably a short, incoherent post but you gotta excuse me—it’s been a while and I’m still tired from all this hard work I’m doing lately. The money, though! It’s coming in the negatives, lol. I’m not getting paid. That reminds me, I almost got a web design gig today! I don’t know if the guy will return to discuss some more but he offered to pay me! And like the clueless turnip I am, I didn’t know the rate of these things. I asked him how much he’d give me because I couldn’t think of anything. Turns out you can charge 5000$ for this kind of thing. Well, I’ll see you all in Georgia cuz I might soon be off vacationing!
