Today was my first day of my internship. I came home with a
terrible headache and all I wanted to do is take a long nap. And I got that so
needed nap. So why did I had this terrible headache? My energy gets drained out
when I’m around and interacting with people - which sometimes causes headaches
and stomachaches. I’m NOT
antisocial. I do very much like spending time with my friends, family and even
complete strangers. I just get exhausted being with people {the boyfriend
doesn’t count here} for a whole day. Call me an introvert or whatever fancy
terms there is out there. I have always been like this and it’s hard when you
live in an extrovert world. But yup, that’s who I am. Let’s be honest here - I
was also nervous for this day and almost felt sick this morning. I’m very good at
adapting to new places when I’m abroad on holiday or when I move to a new
place. But when it comes to work and school I almost get anxious and I
don’t thrive immediately. It’s perhaps {I know it is} because I lack
self-confidence. Something I have been improving since high school and it isn’t
going fast enough in my opinion! Sigh.
So what did I do today on my first day? First of all we
are four interns - two are my classmates, another girl and I. We are all Multimedia Design and Communication students. Our internship place is a small company that
sells jewellery online. My job is to generate content in form as graphic design
and illustrations for the website. I also have to shoot pack shots and edit
pictures. I’m guessing that’s what the other girls also have to do. It’s all
about the visual.
We began the day with a meeting with the others and
afterwards we interns got an introduction. Afterwards we got three tasks* {sorry it's in Danish but I bet you know how to use Google Translate},
which we had a couple of hours to solve. I just recently bought a Macbook Pro
because my ASUS was too slow for almost everything but especially the Adobe
programs. I have only bought PCs before so I’m not used to Mac’s operating
system. But I’m already having a hang on it. It’s a great laptop. Fast, quick,
speedy. Though I had a bit of a problem with it today which I'll get back to in a second. Today I learned I’m not that great at being creative when
I have to force myself to be it, I don’t work too well with loud music on and the Adobe
programs set in Danish language is such a no-go. The latest was my problem with my new laptop today. I had trouble with setting the language to English and I always work with the programs in English. It was a such pain in the you-know-where. I did finish all the tasks on time but I am not
content with my work and I am to embarrass to show it here. So this will be just one of those posts
with no pictures. Boring. Sorry.
It was a bit of an off day for me. Don’t get me wrong - the
people at my internship seem very kind, the place is nice and it was exciting
to be there. You know it’s the it’s not
you, it’s me phrase. I just need to pull myself together. Night peaches.
