What a week! The first week of my internship was overwhelming, busy, and overall, pretty great! For the most part, I worked on editing/adding to a brochure for the "Life After Macquarie" event. This is the event that occurs the morning of the "Farewell Function", the mock graduation for international students. The brochure I've been working on is quite lengthy, as it gives graduating/departing international students information on job hunting both in Australia and around the world, what to expect when they go home (reverse culture shock), and alumni relations info, etc. Not only have I been editing what is there, I was also told to change/add whatever I wanted. I get the feeling that the budget for my particular department is pretty high...with the amount of publications they send out, marketing, the free breakfasts they host for international students each week (I got to help out this week)...there's a lot of money there!
The commute has been interesting, mostly because it's been raining every day this week. Luckily we're on a train for most of the trip. Our train goes over the Sydney Harbor Bridge every day! What a sight that is! The opera house, the harbor, the ferries, it's incredible. So, that hour commute really doesn't seem bad at all.
Tonight, Cristina and I are going on a Ghost Walk in The Rocks, the most historic part of Sydney. Sounds spooky :) Should be fun! And tomorrow, we're going to the Blue Mountains. Can't wait! There's just so much to see and do here, it's hard to put it into words, but we'll do our best!
