Week 14: “Carry That Weight”

So here we are, the Tres Amigos at week 14! Even though there are only three of us, we have adjusted our respective goals and are working hard to keep the momentum of the course going.

The course’s end is now more palpable than ever, but like the Olympic marathon runners I have watched this past week, I feel we are now using our last reserves of energy to reach our goals. We are so very close!

I have noticed there is a need to write PR SOP files for the next class; since they aren’t currently in existence.  Going back through the email history of this internship and my postings, I find that I have made a great deal of mistakes. However, these mistakes were all part of the learning process—it is only because I did not know any better and acted with the best of my abilities at the time.

I am now utilizing any spare time I have to write these SOP files specifically for PR; to ensure the next class will also learn from my mistakes and not repeat them. It’s quite an interesting position I find myself in; knowing literally nothing about PR at the start of this internship and now being able to impart so much of what I have learned. It’s a fantastic sensation when you feel your contributions are of equal magnitude to those of your peers’.

On that note, there is still quite a bit of work ahead of me including a 5:30 conference with Mr. Black & White Truffle Cheesecake…..<sigh>..the obligations one must fulfill in the name of work.
