Change of Pace

Hey everybody. Today is Thursday. Today I have a little bit more of a relaxed schedule than the last couple of days. Tuesday I met with the Lt. Governor in her office. She was very kind and supportive of me and my future. We discussed some interesting topics and just simply enjoyed ourselves. I think that we now have a good, professional relationship. Later that day my fellow intern and I informally presented our Wednesday presentation to our supervisor. He liked it, so we stuck with our plan and prepared. On Wednesday we presented the material in PowerPoint to a full room of directors appointed by the governor, supervisors, employees, and others. It was scary, but we succeeded. Our material included statistics, math equations, graphs, definitions, etc. They were the results from our survey analysis project that we had been compiling data for during the last month. By the end of the presentation, we were complimented and received constructive feedback.

Tomorrow will be an exciting day because we get to go to the Indianapolis Zoo. This will be such a change of pace and probably very relaxing. I haven’t been to the zoo in years. All the interns working in different agencies will be invited and we get in free. You can’t beat that. I am looking forward to seeing some lions, tigers, and monkeys, as those are my favorite wild animals. I think the last time I saw a lion or monkey was on “Lion King.” Later on Friday we will be wrapping up our main project. Since my partner starts her real position on Monday, it will be important to finish almost all residual parts of the assignment. We are putting it into a presentation format so that next week we can present it to the HR director, and some others. This will be my last major project. Next week I will probably ask for one additional smaller project to work on. Next week is my last here in the internship. Adios!
