I’ve completed my first ever internship and now am back to school again!

I was at the Institute of Mental Health for almost 3 months, and how fast time passed! Maybe it seemed exceptionally fast because I really liked the place.

I suppose the biggest fear (or the most irritating thing) of an internship for the intern is to end up being treated as cheap, unskilled labour. I’ve heard of horror stories of interns becoming coffee runners and labourers. Thankfully, my colleagues at IMH didn’t accord me any “special” treatment. I’m very thankful that they treat me just like any other staff. I’m also thankful to have been put through the different aspects of corporate communications, from being in the office to outside of office! Although this is only my first (and probably my last) internship, I can confidently say that this internship is everything that an intern can possibly hope for. I’m glad to have been given the chance to join them and I’ll fondly remember the people who made it possible.

Now I am back in school again, and it feels nice to be back, although it means lots of assignments and dealines to be met again. I’m doing my honours year, so that means I have an honours thesis on my hands too! Looks like two busy semesters ahead. And, I’m filling out application for Masters. Yes, I want to be a permanent student!
