Internships Immersion

Hello readers its been a while since I've posted something on any of my blogs which makes me kinda sad but I've been extremely busy. Well here's something that's been happening at my shool recently and that is internships. So our school sends off our juniors to internships because it's part of the schools curriculum this internship is to teach us about the working world plus extra benefits but of course it depends on where we're working at. Our first day for all of us was last thursday and that was called Immersion day on this day we would all go to our workplaces around San Diego and basically preview what we're going to work and how we're going to work.
My Internship takes place at Good Earth Plant Company and my first day there was basically a slow day I almost fell asleep while researching about green roof projects that have been placed around San Diego and I thought that was pretty cool because there were a lot of projects done in San Diego that I've never heard about. Unfortunately I still felt drowsy even after finding about all these fabulous projects, I guess I'm not much of an office person. Besides my problem of trying to keep myself awake at work on the first day at work I felt very comfortable my mentor tried her best to keep me entertained by making me do other stuff because she noticed that I had a boring face on. In a way I felt slightly embarrassed cause I felt as if I was being slightly rude towards my workplace but she didn't seem to mind instead she seemed to understand so she asked me to do something else for her so we went on the roof and told me that this will be a small mini project I can work on and that's would be to grid the plants that are now on the roof and compare them to an old grid that was made two years ago. With this new activity I ended up having a lot of fun because I learned how to identify certain plants on the roof. Now I know this is just a summary of my day and I'm sorry that I kinda ranted for a bit but I'm just really excited about this internship because I'm having a lot of fun.
Well I'll write to you all later,
Sincerely, Andres
