One week down, 7 more to go!

So I'm about to start week 2 of this lovely adventure in Chicago. Week one was a learning experience - I now am a seasoned veteran of riding the Metra, cabs, the L, and the bus. I'm still a little confused and lost in this huge city but I'm figuring things out. So far I've made new friends and have been enjoying the nightlife but I'm a little unsure about my internship. So far all I've done is wander through the suburbs and downtown passing out free tickets, promo fliers, and free merch. I've also received a lot of free merchandise which is nice but I just wish I was using more of my brain! I want to feel challenged, I want to be able to contribute ideas and apply the things I've learned so far. It's only the first week so I don't want to judge the job too soon but if things don't change after the Taste of Chicago event then I'm going to have some serious issues. I talked to one of the bosses the other day and hinted around that I want to do more and I think he's on board with that idea so hopefully I'll be able to do cooler things after the Taste is over. Today I am exhausted after a week full of fun that hopefully will continue for the next 7 weeks! I'll post more later because I'm tired and this computer screen is making me sleepy. haha.
