Josey - Internship Blog (9) 5/9/19

This week was my last time going back to Writespace before the summer break. I started out with some tedious online work of organizing the volunteer sheets, which took some time, and a decent amount of concentration, but was very satisfying to look at once I had finished. So I worked on that for about 45 minutes before moving on to some 'of the computer work.' On one wall of Writespace is a shelf with cubbies each containing a box with supplies. So I sorted through about fifteen of these boxes and looked for supplies that could be useful for upcoming workshops. It took about twenty minutes to go through some of these on greatly varying degrees of organization and categorization. I think I got a decent amount of supplies and as I was going through I was thinking about how for a small company like this it seems really important to keep track of things, reuse as many as you can so that you are able to save money. I finished picking things out, then took inventory of all the items we found so we could get a proper count of how many more of each thing we had to order. This was pretty quick and after a few minutes, I finished with that. I finished with this, but Ms. Clarke was on a phone call that sounded pretty important, so I waited for her to finish before I moved on the last part. In one of my emails I had expressed interest in the workshops so next semester we are going to try to get me more involved in them. At the end of my time there today I started reading through the descriptions of the upcoming workshops so that I could find any that were boring and see if there were ways I could make them better. It was a little tiring, but most of them were interesting to look at and had a lot of words I had no idea what the meaning was, but it was cool to see what sort of writing workshops they offer and see which ones seem interesting to me.
