Interesting week, it's been. Yes, Yoda talk. The past week has been interesting and confusing at the same time. Discovery has been picking up, probably because I hound my boss for work. Not always a bad thing, right? From what I can tell, I think I and this one other girl, out of five, enjoy this internship the most. I can do what they ask and new things are usually quick for me to learn. I like finishing work, it makes me feel good. Call me weird. Today we had two extra long meetings - one about a program designed by Discovery's IT department, cool, and another about how marketing and ad sales marketing works, which was cool, but it got a little dull when he talked about what we, or at least this other girl and I already knew. So it was a day with basically, a four hour meeting. It's tiring, these meetings! Blah. Moving on. Had lunch with my fellow interns. Finished my work and headed off to class.
This week, my social innovation marketing class was held at Weber Shandwick at 55th and 3rd. Right next to work! Success! It was the most beautiful office I have ever seen. I wish I took a picture. Ha, too bad! So, we had Weber Shandwick employees talk to us about what social innovation really meant, we talked about what the company actually does, why they do what they do, and why what they do is good. Broad, I know, but if I talk about everything we learned, this post would end up a novel. Overall, I got the best impression for the company and well, it's now one of the companies I want to work for in the future. There's an internship available. I'm fighting for it.
On a more...dreary note, it's been quite a long week. It feels like Friday, which is never a good thing, because there's still two more days in the week. My days are driven by coffee and espresso, today especially, and I'm so out of focus with my schoolwork. This week is crucial. Midterms are next week. I had a nice little escape today with the Lau family - I happen to join them at their meals since it's the only time I get to see Kat. Had wonderful Pho at Pho Bang [haha I know], and carrot cake at someplace on Mulberry which was amazing. Food escapes are always fun. With the Lau bunch, they never skimp on food. So, that was fun. Now it's midnight and I have heartburn and work in the morning. Tums and bedtime. After a few pictures posts of my...favorite things. Kinda.
