Tonight’s post will be rather quick, as I’m quite tired and tomorrow is another long day.
I “officially” started my internships this week, and I already feel as though I have PLENTY of work to do. I am interning at Friendship Ambassadors Foundation on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and will be at Student World Assembly Tuesday and Thursday. After only 3 days of work I find that the schedule is quite demanding and it has been hard to be thrown into a full-time schedule after having very few obligations for almost 7 months. However, I am already finding the work quite rewarding. When I have more time, possibly tomorrow, I will go into more depth in explaining what I’m doing in the two positions (I hope it doesn’t bore all you readers out there!), but all I will say for now is that I am basically busy from the time I get to work until the time I leave. I haven’t been getting nearly enough sleep, and therefore it’s been really difficult to get started each morning. Even though I have to be at the train station at an early 8:15am, taking the Metro to NYC is actually somewhat therapeutic – I get to drink tea, listen to my ipod, and read a bit to wake-up my brain before I reach Grand Central 50 minutes later.
I am not working on Friday, so tomorrow I will take the train from Grand Central all the way to New Haven, and then I will take Amtrak to Hartford where Brett and I will get dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. It will be a really lovely way to start the weekend, which I will be spending at Brett’s house in West Suffield. I’m looking forward to catching up on the sleep I lost during this exciting week!
