I started my Career Explorations internship on Monday. I've been placed at the local library, which is actually pretty cool because I'm a book nerd...but, this library happens to be in the process of moving into a new facility, therefore as the 'intern' I'm the official book-unpacker-and-reshelver. So for the last couple of days I've been surrounded by a sea of cardboard boxes and out-of-order books, staring at the small catalouge numbers printed on the spines trying to get them shelved in the proper order. It's tiring, but fun. It's kind of mindless after a while so I can just relax and sit there and shelve books. It kind of sucks when they stick me with an elderly volunteer and make me help them. I'm a bit of a loner when I work, so it sucks when I have to be the 'spry young'n' who totes all of the boxes and can actually see the tiny catalogue numbers. Thankfully that's only happened twice.
Anyways, this internship basically takes up all of my afternoons, and goes until I have to leave and head over to dance or to work. So I officially have NO TIME to myself anymore. Which is good, because if I'm extremely busy then I can't sit here and stew and be bored anymore. I like being busy but I kind of feel drained already because I have had no time to myself. And this stupid time change is doing nothing to help me feel well-rested. Oh well. I'll live. There's a Starbucks right down the road and I'm friends with one of the employees so he can make me some coffee and we can chat if I ever need a caffeine IV. :)
