Work Day Numero One

Just finished my first day of work and I'm exhausted. I actually feel like a working woman (obvious with less pressure to complete work by certain deadlines), getting home after dinner with friends and a long day, all I want to do is shower and go to sleep.

I got to work this morning on time and most people at the office weren't even at work yet. It wasn't until 9:30 a.m. when most people started filing in, how bizarre. Additionally, the whole office is basically women except for the two other interns, Alex and Adam, and all these women are so soft spoken. The whole office dynamic is weird because everyone is nice...but kind of distant and cold. Perhaps its the work place culture? My supervisors are super nice, but it's like no one talks to each other. We had a staff meeting today and cake because it was someone's birthday, but the whole ordeal was just awkward because it seemed so polite. The girl whose birthday it was didn't even seem excited and we just sat there in silence as someone cut the cake. Good thing I'm working with Molly, at least I have someone to talk to, lol.

Turns out that I'm going to be working events for most of the summer. Making programs, documents, putting in reservations, updating the website information, etc...A bunch of pretty mindless things that don't think much thinking. Kinda disappointed that I won't really be challenged that much. Maybe I'm just underestimating this job, but I hope it won't be just a repeat of all the logistics stuff I do at school. On the other hand, the events that they organize seem pretty cool and I would be excited to attend them (some of them are at pretty fancy places :D) After work all the Bulldogs met up again, ate dinner and then walked on the Explanade. So amazingly beautiful.

Thank god the weather has been nice. Though it's been raining a lot in the night and mornings, it makes the rest of the day fairly cool. Hope this coolness keeps up!!
