That’s all folks!
My work here is done. Friday last week was my last official internship day. There were a few loose ends, we finished over the weekend, before we met up monday to have a little farewell-lunch together. We also shot the team photo and individual headshots of all team members, to put in the book. Yes, my face and name will actualy B in D Book what up
There is still work to be done on the book before it is ready to be published, but the rest is up to the publisher. Here is what we expect the front page to look like (nothing is certain at this point):
If things work out as planned, the book should be published sometime in May, in both Danish and English and in physical as well as E-book versions! - Can’t wait!
Now for some serious stuff! I would like to evaluate just a little on the whole process. I am going to do it through a list tips for other students roaming the maze of internshipping. Here goes:
Start your search early! - I know I already said this in an earlier post, but it cannot be stressed enough. For your own sake, have a few options ready come the last weeks before you have to have found your spot, and go into depth with finding out what the different spots have to offer.
Be active! - If you feel like you internship is not giving you what it is supposed to, do not be affraid to pick up the paste yourself. No one says your internship host has to be the one pushing your learning - you are very much capable  to do so yourself, to a certain extend o course. I sometimes found myself in situations where I did not feel I was being pushed to perform, and I know wish I would have been better at taking more initiative myself. Especially in the early stages.
Make blogging a weekly ritual! - Why not sit down every sunday night and throw up a few pictures and some text. Well because life sometimes gets in the way. But my advice is not lose your blog-motivation because you forget to post one week. It is actually quite fun, once you sit down and do it; and it is really nice for your friends, classmates and so on, to keep track of what you are doing.
Be careful when agreeing to intern on a specific and time-bound project, compared to aiding a firm or organisation in their daily work! - I found out that it can be very difficult to say beforehand what a project has to offer, learning wise, thus I ended up not living up to all of my 4 learning objectives. Of course I also learned things thay I did not expect; for example organization and alternative solutions was something I ended up gaining a lot of skills in; but it is no doubt easier to steer your learning towards the already set goals, than to pick up things ongoingly.
There we go. Those are them that are my advice for you!Â
Now all that is left to say is, Follow the Flow my Friends! - Here’s a picture of 2 cool dudes
