We have class here?

Yesterday was the first of our internships and mine was intense. (hence why i'm procrasting by writing this blog). My internship is with the Labor research and resource institute. It does research for trade unions and the government on labor practices and what needs to be done to change them. Essentially it is a lobbyist firm and unfortunately they use Stata here.....bummer. Most of the people in the office are Dr's and got their PhD's from all over the world it's really impressive and they treat me as an equal! I'm by no means as smart as they are, but i guess I can try....I was sent home with homework and i'm meeting with one of the researchers tomorrow to go over plans for how to apply for grants it's crazy AND I'm writing executive summaries for them to synthesize their work NUTS. Besides that Namibia is a blast and so much sun!

Later
