I think about many areas of my life using running analogies. So today I would say that I finished my internship strong like I hope to finish my races. Last night, Nadeem, my supervisor asked me to ghost a computer and edit the website, http://international.fsu.edu/london/ to add the group photo that the program had just taken. This required working with Adobe Go Live CS2 to edit the PHP files, Adobe Photoshop to edit the .jpg images and folder management tools to make sure I had everything in the right place. I was able to get this done and ghost the machine. I also downloaded and installed the proper printer driver for the assistant director's new computer.
Then today, coming in on my last day when everyone from FSU had already left, I created new DVD covers using an old trick that I learned at Rollins for DVDs that are missing their information jackets. Then I re-imaged three Dell computers for use with the SmartBoards. At the end of the day Nadeem gave me his personal contact info, I shook his hand, thanked him and walked out onto a crowded Great Russell Street. In the beginning I was so nervous that I couldn't make it as the I.T. intern but after six months I can say that I feel like I had a great internship, learned things, gained confidence and to be sure Finished Strong!
