I Love My Internship- Part II

So, I have to say that my internship at MSN (a.k.a Microsoft) still rocks! After four days of working there, I have pretty much settled in to my internship. I am starting to work on bigger assignments as opposed to meaningless busy work, which is always good. On Monday and Tuesday, all of us interns had to attend several training workshops. The workshops were fairly interesting and ranged from libel/legal dangers to writing concise photo captions for the web. Besides that, I have been creating photo galleries (doing research, writing captions and getting images) and learning MSN's web content management system.

Today was our British Life and Culture field trip and my day-off. We went to the Tate Britain. I'm not a big art museum fan, but the Tate Britain was okay. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and unlike my tour guide at St. Paul's was concise, and to-the-point. We got to see the construction of a new exhibit at the Tate Britain, which is a giant sculpture made entirely out of kitchen pots and pans. That was kind of cool. The only bad thing is that each week I'm required to write a brief paper on a topic from the field trip or the lecture. This week I have absolutely no idea what to write about from the Tate Britain, which could be problem.

Tomorrow, Microsoft is holding a special, very important workshop, and all of us interns get to be the guides for all the VIPs. I'm secretly hoping that Bill Gates will be there (one can dream right?), but I highly doubt it! Besides that, I'm also going to The Lion King musical tomorrow night, which should be awesome. More to come on my exciting adventures in London.
