what are you working on?

I've already been at my internship for 5 weeks and there's a definite anabolic energy atmosphere at UNA-GB, everyone who works there has a passion to help and create and in some way everyone I work with wants to change the world. Its a good feeling being surrounded by and working with people who have a passion for what they do and it's nice when I'm not working to get the job done but working because I'm sincerely interested in the project.
Just yesterday I was asked the awkward question "what are you working on?" I know this may seem easy to answer but as one of the only communication interns at the internship I work on a lot of projects simultaneously and sometimes lose track of exactly what I'm working on. I found that as much as I loved my internship it was quite hard to narrow down my tasks to answer this simple question. After completely confusing the young girl who asked me I simply carried on with my work, I realized I had a passion for all the work and tasks that I was doing that I didn't even think about them as tasks but more as the projects that I just simply enjoyed working on. Atmosphere in the work place is definitely an important factor no matter what job it is and will be a deciding factor on where I want to work in future years, hopefully I'll be as lucky as I am now to be surrounded in an enjoyable working environment, completing projects that don't feel like jobs but like activities.
