It's Already the End of the Week

I'd forgotten today was Sunday.  Such is my strange schedule these days.

This week in virtual internship land, I've started work on my next assignment: another trends report.  After the first report, I've become a little more confident in my ability to format a report to precisely the way my site supervisor would like it.  Admittedly I've taken a few days off to put the finishing touches on some final projects for other classes, but I'm determined to finish my internship hours in the next week as well as the project in order to give myself, and my site supervisor, some time to complete our administrative paperwork including rating and reviewing each other.

An ongoing challenge that I've found throughout this internship that became readily apparent when I began researching and compiling reports, was that the terminology has changed so drastically in the past few years that even looking at information from 2000 or 2002 seems terribly out of date.  The rate at which things change and become obsolete is blindingly fast for some of us who still love things from the past.  I am perhaps too much my parents' child in this sense.  While I like new technology, I approach with extreme caution and I think this internship has been good for me to learn just how fast I have to move to keep up in this new day and age when all my friends are texting and tweeting and pinning and all sorts of other things.
