What will my First day be like?
My first day of my summer internship will be on July 5th at 9:00 a.m. I'm expecting my first day to be very stressful. I'll be taking the bus to Southern Connecticut State University, working in their engineering department. I'm afraid that the bus will be late, like it was today. I don't want to be late on the first day, that will give the complete wrong impression of me to my boss. I have to take a very early bus to get to the university. I think that their engineering department will be impressively big. The lab will probably be a decent size, full of equipment to use. Hopefully, my first day won't be full of work and tasks to get done. I want my first day to be a kind of get to know what's what kind of day. I'll shake hands, learn names, and get a feel of what the research will be like. I really want to know what I'll be researching, and what my daily responsibilities will be like. I wonder if there will be any other high school students my age in the department we will be working in. Honestly, I'm not expecting any one else, besides Wayde, to be of my age group. Last year, I was the only high school student at the medicine school at Yale University, so I kind of felt out of place, but I felt very honored and proud of myself to be working there.
My first day will be stressful, I'll be nervous, anxious, but excited and ready to take on the day. After all, I'll have Wayde to keep me company!
I definitely recommend taking the earlier bus ( you may get there like 30 minutes early, but you could stay in the bathroom for 30 minutes and then come out). It's better to be early than late.
ReplyDeleteAnd all I had was Ethan with me. It's not that uncomfortable being without others your age (atleast for me). I do recommend asking questions though because you do want to see engaged, even when the work is simple. I would try to make conversation with the adults, because you do want them to know of you and you of them. Remember to be yourself and engage in everything, even parts you don't think you'll enjoy. You never know; you might actually like them. I wish you the best of luck on your first day and am confident you'll do great (:
