Day One- May 8th, 2013

Today was most definitely a day for work. Today, I truly learned what it means to be an intern: lots of heavy-lifting an a LOT of patience. I was assigned to do multiple projects to do for the day. I helped an employee redesign the coffee area of the workplace, helped organize returned subscriptions, and moved entire filing cabinets. If I had learned anything from today, it's that filing cabinets are HEAVY.

But no, I also learned that the headquarters of a newspaper is pretty much like any other business: mostly quiet with employees being in their offices and working their respective tasks. I simply helped along as best I could by doing whatever was asked of me. Really, that's all there is to it with being an intern. However, I would like to note that Caribbean business needs new computers or at least new software, but that's simply a minor complaint that only I, a tech-savy teenager, would have. It was simply a minor inconvenience to my job of organizing files.
