Cheers to internship that is officially over (but not finished).
People say, the people who treat you bad, are those who really want to help you. In a certain way, it WAS true.
The first month my friend and I got in was a torture. We were asked to do various things here and there, and 2nd week, 1st day, a got pretty tired, but still wasn't allowed to go home, and was given a reality check, that this industry, until you finish your work for the day, it's not good to go home. Indeed, I teared. Cos I get complaints from family, and I personally wanted to go home on time.
Complaints from family continued still, and there wasn't really much I could do. till the end of 2nd month, they got used to it and didn't question after that. But I guess they ought to know what I've been doing, and how long it took to get that. Or they'll never know.
2nd month going 3rd month, things started to change. We had that "Oh we've been through half the internship! Half more to go!" though instilled in us throughout. Few times we got bored because we finished our projects, an arcade machine appeared. We had fun playing and were thinking of redesigning the pictures to look customized. Cupboards were made to give more privacy from visitors, and we felt we were given more freedom of speech, to do things like a team treated with equal respect within.
Soon we got busy, thoughts of "how many more days to go" laid low. And from "I don't wanna contribute too much of my time to a workplace" to "I think i should go back earlier to get it done." were seen and felt in us.
And it's not until recently, we felt that we had more control, more freedom and more understanding to the workflow, what needs to be done, possibilities of improvement, basically just... the whole team's spirit. Communication has shown its importance from those misunderstandings and bad collaboration work. So helpful... This should always be done in group works.
Bleh... I've grown up in an environment of important attitude, knowledge and fun. Hahaha... 4 months of growing up. I WANT THAT TO HAPPEN ON MY HEIGHT AS WELL. Whee...
