I came home yesterday and said to my mom, "Ang inet dito sa Pilipinas, di katulad sa Australia!" He-He... No, I haven't been to Australia, but technically when you're inside their embassy, it's technically another country right? He-he.. Yup, I got into the Embassy (Public Affairs Section), after a grueling week of waiting for their call... I had Security Briefing and everything else (very tight security) before I could actually start. Anyway, it's great.
Unlike other practicum sites that treat you like a highschool graduate by ordering you around, asking you for their coffee, or becoming a Xerox girl, errand girl,,, I'm happy that the Embassy treats me differently. I get to be hands-on the jobs around. Of course, I can't possibly do what the Ambassador is supposed to do, but at least...you get my point. My friend Lyka is in the verge of losing her mind coz all she does in her practicum site is to stare at the walls and wait if somebody would actually need her help or if the phone rings. Me, I've been busy! Really. Doing an inventory book list of the library. Whew... Encoded almost a thousand book info entries in two days, oh well, again, at least I am doing something.
Oh well, the downside (maybe) of being an intern here is that it's gonna cost you too much. (This is RCBC Plaza, by the way.) Lunch would usually cost around a hundred bucks, then I still have to travel and all... But it's okay. The people around are so kind, they let me share their table during lunch (I feel like a highschooler saying that.. hehe). Oh and yeah, sometimes I DO have a hard time understanding these Australians because of their accent.
Til here. Gotta grab lunch now. Yum!
