First Real Day of Work

Okay so as everyone knows already I began working at my internship this past Friday, but I did not do much other than some basic paperwork. Yesterday was actually my first day of working. And I can honestly say I was so excited about it! Through the day I did some organizational stuff which included creating a calendar online to list all the openings of new gallery shows, pre-writing tweets to be sent out (the tweets were for Artists of the Day), writing a list to keep track of which artists we used for artist of the day, and then updating the four calendars for the online audience (events, openings, talks, and closings). Today if I have time I will see if I can add more to the events calendar because right now it is kind of bare. After completing those calendars I took my lunch break and chatted with the other intern Maddie. She's really nice, she is from California but attends American University here in DC. After our lunch break we headed back to work, and Elizabeth returned from a lunch meeting so we updated her on all we had accomplished, by this point it was 2:30 and time for Maddie to leave. Since I only had 30 minutes left to work I did some covert research on a new possible competitor. I cannot give out many details, but let's just say that it does seem like this entity will be a competitor, and that I found out much information on the internet. I think this is because I am so good at using the internet to find just about anything people have put online. Even when people are more covert I can find them given enough time. Then I headed home for the day.

Once home, I changed into more comfortable clothes and ran to the grocery store to pick up some bread and bandaids (my feet haven't fully healed yet). Then I came back to the RAF and wrote some blog posts before dinner. I then ate a wonderful dinner of ramen and water before heading down to my class. Class was interesting last night, but mostly lecture based, we learned some of the theories on leadership and did some more activities to see what leadership style we prefer the most. My highest score was in participative, then delegative and then authorative. Although I will admit the scores were all within 5 points of each other. So I would say that I am pretty well rounded when it comes to leadership styles, in the sense that I know when a situation calls for a certain style it is more useful to use that than to just fall back on another. Anyways that is really all that happened last night, now I'm just getting ready to head to my internship at 9:30 to be there by 10:15am, so I will write again when something happens!
