Starting anew

So I just finished my two week trial for my internship and well, I'll tell you the decision later whether they are going to keep me on or not....

The first few days there wasn't much to do, I just helped them research an itinerary for visitors to their show, so that they have other stuff to do as well and can stimulate tourism here and in Canada. That went well, because I have one of my supervisors in the room with me (as I share her office), then she was able to hear that I am very comfortable with making phone calls. I guess I have to thank my previous two internships because they both involved a lot of calling to ask questions, so I was able to ask all the right questions and I did it quite convincingly..... hahahaha... cuz I had to pretend that I was organizing a school trip and that I would be bringing 200 students from out of town with me and find out what they can do, how much it would cost, what the program at the cultural centre (AGO, ROM, Design Exchange, COC) would be.

Then onto more exciting things! I had T-W-O team meetings the second week (because I am working on two shows, although all the people involved are the same), and it's so great, because I've never been in an actual meeting like that. We were in the boardroom and we had the floorplans all layed out. I did feel a little lost, because everyone was already really involved in the planning process, and I did not get almost 95% of what they were talking about, and I probably had a very lost expression registering on my face...... =S hehehehe....

However, my supervisors were very supportive, and they told me that I can always just jump in and say that I am lost and ask them to explain. And they are correct, so much of what they do and know is all in their head because they have been working on it for so long, it's really hard for them to pick out what they need to explain to me or point out to me before hand. So it'll be a learning process all the way through!

I will introduce my supervisors to you once I get a photo of them.

So that's my first two weeks, and well the final decision....... they agreed with me that I may feel lost, but in the end, they said I was working well with them, so they were happy that I was enjoying my time there, and they offered to let me stay on!!!!!

To celebrate I bought a new notebook! hehehehe..... Notebooks have always been a part of my internships, work and life.... it's a mix of red and pinks and a bit of dark orange I think, but I'll take a photo and share. I like that there are different papers in there. However, I was a little annoyed that the paper was a little wrinkly......

Oh and Tien just reminded me about something. Yesterday, I finally got to change the voice message on my phone! It's the first time I get my own phone with loads of buttons and functions, that I have no idea how to use, but It's COOL! I am super excited! Maybe I'll even get business cards???? ... a girl can dream... =)

Now I just have to pick out some stuff from home to bring to work.... to spruce up my desk and make it MINE! =)

Here's what I've decided so far to bring:
- a calendar
- some of my coloured pens
- my super sticky post-its (I bought them like last year and still haven't even opened the pack)
- a selection of photos (if I can find some that are already developed...)
