A month already!

Well, it amazing how time goes by, it has been a month already since I started my internship. I am definitely busier than I used to be the first days, as I am working in a project, I don’t have daily tasks to do. In the beginning, my usual day was divided by doing research and meeting with some people that can give me more information about the product I am analyzing. Now, I got almost all the information I needed, so I am in the phase of putting everything together to build a story (as my boss says). So, as many of us, I am in the power point phase, and this is more stressful than I thought. My boss is a former consultant, so you can imagine she has high standards in presentations. In fact, I knew I had to do a final presentation to my boss, but I didn’t know I had to do a midpoint presentation to my VP, that will be this week. So, you can imagine how much I have been working this week.

Additionally, as we are getting near to the end of our program, we have more social and networking events. Unfortunately, I had to miss one happy hour because I had a very early meeting the next day. I was sad, but I knew this following week we will have even more events, so I felt more relieve. This week, we will have breakfast with HR representatives, the usual lunch and a scavenger hunter event. So I will definitely have fun.

And to end the week, as most of us have been really busy, some of the Summer Associates decided to go out for dinner on Friday. What rally surprised me is that we went to a Peruvian restaurant, without my recommendation, so you can imagine I was more than happy. I had a Peruvian friend visiting me for the weekend, so i went with her, and we really liked the food, and my friend did also. We had a great time and most of us couldn't finish. Here is the photo of us, I was really happy that people from Italy, Brazil, the Philippines, and of course, US, could enjoyed Peruvian food.

I will keep you post!
