The stress is beginning to pile on as I work towards a finalized form of my draft, but for some reason, it feels as if it can never be completed. I know that in order for a draft to be “done” in the sense that I am envisioning, the document would have to be the final product. Therefore it is impossible for my draft to ever be done, which is both infuriating and freeing. My assignment was to create a draft. The end product will be sent out weeks after I have left, which saddens me because I have connected with this project in so many ways thus far. 

But as of right now I’m proud of how much I’ve grown. I am looking forward to reaching a conclusion and reflecting on everything that I’ve done so far. There have been many ups and downs for me in these past few weeks. An area of improvement I’ve recognized for myself includes my scheduling of assignments. I believed that after three years of college, I finally had it figured out. But for some reason, especially in the summer, important tasks that are a priority for me to complete are unintentionally abandoned on my to-do list. These blog posts are a great example. I have had a surprising amount of trouble keeping up with these weekly deadlines and I’ve recognized the problem as the way I schedule them. Instead of scheduling them on Fridays, days where I usually have to work my night shift position immediately after my internship is over, it would have been more beneficial if I made them a task for myself on Wednesday. This way I would have a two-day buffer to work on them. It’s unfortunate that I’ve noticed this during my last week of internship, but as they say, better late than never.
