things have been going really well at the internship. I know I say this a lot, but I really do love going in to work on the activities that they have for me. My newest project is to begin doing research so that I can help in writing the "problem statement" of a potential proposal. I am very interested in this and also excited for the opportunity. I had a chance in my Business/Professional Writing course to do a "mock" proposal report, so I am familiar with the process to an extent. Having that experience will most definitely help me in my work on this. I have a grasp on what it is that they're looking for and what is expected for this particular aspect of the project. It is also fun to be working on creating something rather than just proofing. I love proofing and editing, but it is a welcomed change of pace to start actually writing something too. The only issue I have run into so far is that I'm having a little bit of difficulty finding specific statistics on the topic. There are stats on MANY similar topics, but I haven't run into any on the target topic yet. Although I have run into a bit of a roadblock in that respect, I have no doubts that I will be able to find resources that will have the information that I need. It also helps that my supervisor has offered his support numerous times if I should need it. Since this is a field (in general) that I am not yet familiar with, it is very reassuring to know that the people I am working with are willing to offer assistance. I will be sure to update about the project! (Especially since I am so excited to be working on it).
