Tell a little about your mentor.

My mentor name is Prachi, she is very nice and fun to be working with. but if you don't do the work that she tell you to do, she will be unhappy, which means if she get unhappy so will you. so the work will not go so great. she is the kind of person that like getting her work done, and she also like when you ask her for more work to do, every time you available. The more work that you ask her to do, the more easier it will be for you to work with her.


What happened on the first day?

In the first day the things i was doing was unexpected. i thought that i was going to work on computers, but what they make us doing is cleaning. it was a really bad day for me, i was upset, but i didn't show that. there were these things label with papers on them, which were very messy and i was suppose to organize them. it took a lot of time to get it done, especially because not everybody was participating. they were just standing there and looking at me working. it was a long day, and i was very tired, and i didn't want to go back again.

What kinds of things have you done so far?

I have been doing a lot of things. i have been filling papers, cleaning, researching and typing. I was looking through the submission forms about the other companies that have been emailing them to participate in the festival. and i was suppose to look over them and to see if they have everything there such as Cd's/DVDs, a form, pictures, bios, and also 5 previous events they have done before. And for the one that don't have these stuff i was suppose to write them down, that give it my other intern to write a letter to these people so they could know to email these facts.

What were some of the highlights of the first week? (Memorable moments, cool things...)

there's not a lot cool things really, the only thing is cool is calling other companies and tell them they have change their address and to give them the new one, which i didn't do, but my intern did, but it still look cool to me. but there's nothing really cool. The cool things hasn't come out yet, but i have been hearing about them.
