Post 1- First Impressions

 My internship is on Brooklyn Children's Museum on Kingston Ave. There they have mostly Afro American neighbors and Jewish people. The museum itself looks very  beautiful with many fun things for kids to play inside.But me and my supervisor work in the main office. My supervisor's  name is Reah Smith she works at PR department together with me and other workers and interns. Some of Reah's characteristics are she is kind of straight, but nice and funny.  She loves to talk on the phone and seems nice when she talks with people. She likes when everything is right and everybody does his work. I'm working in an office environment together with other workers who make graphic design, planing events or other office jobs with  computers. Sometimes I'm working together with other interns they are all my age. My office is middle size, but it's very nice and warm. The atmosphere in there looks like you are in kid's room. I have my computer and table  where I do my work. Every week I do different works. For example on last week I was finding the websites that talk about the museum and I should print the site's page or make it appropriated and nice on Microsoft Word. But on since Tuesday I, now should put museum's calendars om envelops with names, check list of organizations where it should be sanded and make sure that everything is right and all the organizations will get their calendars. It seems fun to me and I like to do this. On my internship I'd learned how to make professional site's pages and how to sent mails to big organizations. My schedule is not flexible because on Tuesday and Wednesday I work until 5 30 pm, on Thursday 3 pm, but I still have to go to GAP, and on Friday I finish at 5 00 pm. So everyday I arrive in my home at somewhere at 7 pm. But actually my internship seems nice and kind of fun to me because there they have 3 interns my age and the work that I do is not that hard, when you doing this it's even becomes easy.
