Okay, so I definitely fail at this. I've had "update blog" on my list of things to do since about January 10th. It's now February, and I haven't posted since the end of November. And now I don't even know where to begin...
I know I want to talk about my new internship, but lets back track a little. My previous internship ended in the beginning of January. Parts of the job were starting to get old and repetitive. But looking back, I miss it. Mostly, I miss the wonderful people I worked with. While many of them are still there, the ones I was the closest to are now back home in different states. And I've never been good at keeping in contact with people if they aren't in physical proximity to me...
In December, the week of Christmas, I moved into my new apartment. It's a four-bedroom, two-bath. It's a nice little place and we have a great location both within the complex as well as in comparison to places/attractions around us. I get a long with most of my roommates. We won't get into that.
I've become an official adult. In the time since my last blog, I've started paying back loans, transferred my residency, changed my driver's license, car-title, and license plates (or tags as we call them here in FL), got new car insurance and bought renter's insurance. It's satisfying to start paying back my loans, but all my money is gone... haha. My next big step (other than getting a big-boy bed) is to get my own health insurance. But that won't happen for a while.
And now, onto my new job. I absolutely love it. I work in one of the college complexes. We help students with pretty much any question they have. We also serve as a central information hub for anybody and everybody dealing with the college program (including participants, parents, professors, managers, and other cast members). I have my own desk. I work 8:30-5 Mon-Fri (although that is going to change in March for a trial period, more on this later). My position is (apart from being a professional intern) coordinator. There are five office coordinators who are stationed in the office. Then there are three managers, and one area manager. I see all of these people pretty often. They are all different but we all compliment each others work styles. That's just the Programs Office. We are part of a bigger team that facilitates the programs. There is the Yield Team (dealing with numbers of beds open and occupied, along with some finances). There is the Events Team (they set up events, trips, and activities for the participants). And there is the Communication Team (does all sorts of communication for the participants including emails and signs). These are the people I see weekly. There is also the Area manager that manages all of these teams, and then his manager. I don't see these two as often, especially the latter. But everybody is so wonderful! And things are so laid back and such a different ball game than the teams in the parks and resorts. I absolutely love it. And I would love it more if I could stay. But... I can't stay unless one of these people leaves, so chances are, at least right now, I will be moving on to another team when June comes around.
