Internship Week #1

1. What are you excited about, nervous about and wondering about?

I am excited about the rest of internship and being able to help everyone with the different dogs and cats. So far I've really liked being around the different pets and I'm really excited to keep learning how to do everything. I'm nervous about my project because so far I don't have an ideas for what project I can do. I'm nervous I won't be able to come up with a good project to do. I'm wondering about how much education and time it took for the doctors to become the doctors they are today because they know a lot of stuff so I'm wondering how much time it took them to learn it.

6. Describe the company culture at your internship, including how people interact, communicate and work together.

I've really liked the environment and culture at my internship because everyone there is really nice to each other and me and they are always willing to help and teach me everything they know. Everyone there is basically friends with each other so whenever someone needs help they can just say "can someone help me out?" and whoever is not so busy will go and help them. Sometimes when there is not really any work to do they sit around and tell each other stories about their life. Everyone works pretty good with each other and are always there for each other. Everyone is constantly saying "thank you" and "please." Usually someone brings something to eat and shares it with everyone. Almost everyone teaches me something new everyday and everyone is always willing to answer my questions.

7. What are you most surprised by during your first week of internship and why?

I'm really surprised at how nice everyone has been to me because usually people just care about their work but everyone at the veterinary hospital is willing to take time from their busy schedule to talk to me and teach me what they are doing and how they are doing it. I'm also surprised about all the things I've learned in just two days.
