This past Friday was probably one of the most productive days at my internship; it was nice to finally feel like I was in to my work that I was doing.
During the first day of my internship, I was given a project that was quite large. My supervisor emailed me a list of about 130 art organizations around the Boston area in an Excel spreadsheet. I had to find out if they offered an in-school program, write a description, look up an address, phone number, and contact name of someone in either the marketing or education department. This obviously takes much time because each website is different; some sites are made better than others. That has been the most challenging part for this entire project.
I still have not finished this, and I have been at my internship now for almost an entire month. Data entry is not the most fun and interesting project to do, so I have been finding it difficult to sit in front of the computer for hours trying to complete it. However, this past Friday was different. For the first time, I was actually able to focus and get most of it completed. In addition, since I was on such a role, I wanted to stay past five to continue working on it. Unfortunately, I was not allowed to stay later because my supervisor was leaving. I plan on hopefully finishing the project tomorrow, and it will be a huge relief off my back. If I am able to focus on it tomorrow, it should be done in about an hour. Once this project is complete, I will certainly be a very happy camper.
