(no subject)
I am sitting at my very own office desk using my very own office computer in my very own office (actually, I share it with someone else but she's not here today). And there is nothing for me to do! I've told my supervisor I could handle more projects several times so at this point... I am just sitting around checking facebook and making internship-related phone calls every once in awhile. I imagine that I would enjoy office jobs more if there were the kind where I actually had lots of stuff to be working on, but maybe not. Even though I am in a building with a bunch of other really nice and friendly people, a job like this feels too isolating (and maybe too self-directed). This is why I should be a teacher. I wouldn't be bored.
Actually though, I like it here, even if I wish I were a given more responsibility. The other people who work here actually pay some attention to me, which is refreshing after this summer. And I respect this place a lot, and am learning just from being here, even if just bumming around on the internet. Tomorrow we are going to one of the youth prisons to talk to parents who are visiting.
Right now I feel very sleepy. I am going home for the weekend so I had to lug my suitcase the ten-minute walk to the BART station and then the ten-minute walk to work. And then I will have to carry it again back to BART. I am very weak.
