Day 2

Hey there!
So today was my second day in the office but actually my first day working the LaTe ShIfT!!! I seriously had no idea what to expect, how tired I was going to be or what. But overall this day went really well.

I entered the office at 3:45 after my first day of camp. Camp was chaotic so I was looking forward to the peace and quiet of office life. I walked in and Shannon was in the other room brainstorming and doing her own thing. While she finished up, I talked to Jadry and Rebecca who have been busy creating the Globaloria Facebook group and Shannon's first account (isn't that exciting!?) After friending Shannon and reading up on the group, I was going to continue making my profile page a little more colorful because right now it's really basic and I want to play around with fonts and sizes and even more colors. Just as I was about to start, Shannon walks over and assigns me my first project (Yay!).

As you may (or may not know, depending on who you are), World Wide Workshop started projects in West Virginian schools that teach students how to create their own games. The first year has finally finished so now everyone wants to know the results. From what it seems, everyone seems to have a good sense of what the big picture is already but they want details on each school. I was assigned to Clay Country High School, which I was warned is going to be tricky since they did something unconventional and had two different groups, or teams, share one wiki page.

So I spent the next three hours looking through the wiki page. Around 5pm I was the only intern left in the office but the work kept me too busy to register that fact. I looked through and made notes on the home page and several links on the home page including the games posted. When my computer kindly told me it was 7pm (I have it set so it speaks on the hour) I was looking through the list of Users and making notes on them. I packed up my things and bid Itay goodbye.

I think that although when I got home I collapsed in bed, I enjoyed my work and really find it unbelievable that someone like me, with no experience in this field of work, could be trusted to make observations and notes on the major projects. Like Leslie said in orientation, this is like no other internship. Even as young as we are, we do important work and help out to the best of my abilities. I can’t wait for tomorrow because Aixsha will be there, which is good because now I can be given group projects even though we work the late shift.

Until Next Time!!
