Half Way Point
So here I am half way through the term. Half way through the internship. Half way out of my mind. I think I might have taken on too many responsibilities this quarter.

A given day there is always a ton to do. However, this internship hasn't suffered at all because of my other commitments. I have been working hard with Andrew to finish up the first draft of the manual, and we hope to be finished by next week sometime. Its been hard to make significant headway during the week because we keep experiencing updates to the program that were implemented while we were out of the office. When we come in to work it is not uncommon to see that pages have changed, however what changed is rarely obvious.
We were told by our boss today that we could have four new employees to user test our manual draft. Aside from a few minor errors with the program itself this internship feels great. Our boss will be sending us a list of tasks that we will integrate into the user test questions. I guess some students from my internship class will also be testing with us, which will be nice to get a broader base of feedback.
On Tuesday (4/24) I was at work on a four hour shift and it felt like only one hour. It was great, maybe this means that I should persue this kind of writing more outside of college – I can't wait.
