6/11
Today I woke up and went to my
internship. I spent a lot of my time editing some of the website advertisements
that the hotel had for the next month and then I wrote a few general
information letters to customers that are attached to emails. My supervisor
said that I should write the English customer letters because I’m so good at
writing in English which made me happy that I was at least good at one language.
Everything in the company is done in French, I really only make English signs
and letters for a small segment of customers. I usually work about 7-8 hours
each day for 3 days each week. I’ve finally gotten into a routine for what days
I work and what days I’m in school. It’s been difficult trying to manage my
time well when there’s so many things that I would like to do but I have school
work that always has to be done. I’ve been in the process of writing my
mid-term paper for my Islam and Politics class and so far I’ve spent about 4 or
5 hours researching and writing it. Soon I have to start writing a research
paper that will be due in a couple of weeks. There are a lot of assignments in
this 6 week time period so I’m constantly working on that. After I left work I
went home to relax for a little while. Me and my roommates had a dinner date
with Rasma’s friend. While Rasma is out of town for the week she arranged for 3
of her friends and their families to host us for dinner on 3 different nights
this week. Today we met Terese and Jeroen who were both very nice and
interesting to talk to. They had 2 kids that joined us for dinner but spent the
majority of their time watching soccer on tv. It was great getting to know
another family who has lived in Brussels for a while and we had a very good
dinner. We didn’t stay too late at their house because they had to put their
kids to bed. It worked out well because I was able to get back home and read
some more of my textbook before going to bed.
