Today was normal nothing new. I came do my work and then leave. My mentor wasn't there, it was kind of quiet today. That's the end, nothing special or unusual happened, today was a replay.
Don't blame me if the post look so abridge, even if you do I'll not feel remorse.

Sa Se Pa Renmen

Ou di ou remen-m
Chak jou w-ap pouse-m pi lwen
Pou nenpot ti tenten
Ou vle fe zen
Le-m pale ou de remen
Ou pa okipe-m tankou chen
Men depi-m pale de lajan
Ou ban-m bon jan
Cheri si se konsa ban-m kay la

Nothing new, I was just ordering magazines. However I did not get bored, because the job is easy and fun. I finally take some picture, but I don't have my real mentor picture because she went on vaccation. This whole internship week was ten times better than all the previous ones. Today Amy gave me some paper research to work on next week and I think it will be fun, because it's an opportunity for me to learn more. That was it for today.

Some people think it’s funny
Others take it seriously

For somebody to believed in destinity
Nobody wants to believed that they weere supposed to end up in this calamity
Destiny is a mystery
It will remain an unexplain story

As all the other days today I was organizing folders in their category, while keeping tract on the dates. That was it for three hours and I'm still not done.I hope I will complete this part tomorrow and move on to the next tract. Do what you love, love what you do, don't regret what you do, regret what you didn't do. I'm trying to enjoy my internship now, so I can prevent myself from regreting it someday. Everything happen for a reason, I may not see the point in the present but I will in the future if God permit me to. "Your needs are more important than your wants". Juniors of IHS take iternship serious please don't ask why just do it, one day the answer will reveal itself to you.

Third Week Assignment

Describe one significant activity or project that you have completed or are working on currently?

One significant project that I'm working on is to rearrange the library in order including throwing out old magazines and refresh it with new one. There are many different categories in the library for example ( Concrete, Specialties, Windows & Doors, Wood, Furnishings, Finishes, etc). Some of the magazines are not in their place or they are old, so I have to put them in their place and make sure they are new. When the magazines are old ( before 2006) I take the company name and contact info down. That's my routine job
