Another Event

Today, I woke up at 6:30 am to get ready for my internship because I had to attend an event. After taking the tube to Westminster, I arrived at One Birdcage Walk for the Meeting the Manufacturing Challenge Through Investment in Innovation, Skills and Green Technologies. I was in charge of registration, logistics: working with the caterer to make sure the coffee/tea breaks and working lunch was set up in a timely manner and to make sure that there were enough utensils etc., the question/answer session (passed the microphone around the room to delegates who had questions), and also for set up and clean up for the event (ensured there were enough chairs, set up the room with pads of paper and pens, set up the computer and made sure all of the microphones and technological aspects were functional). I had to make some executive decisions in terms of catering and therefore, GovNet/Inside Government was very trusting of my abilities.

For lunch, I was able to have a few sandwiches from the working lunch - mainly roasted chicken with a lemon mayonnaise and fruit kabobs. They were delicious. We then took a tour of the conference building, which was beautiful too. The room we had was a bit small, but it was a great atmosphere for the conference. I realize that I am quickly being assigned big projects and programs to work on or be in charge of. It is a great experience.

I then returned back to the office and updated the attendance sheet for the Alternative Parliamentary Awards and send the final copy to be printed for the name badges.

I returned home and ordered Papa Johns to dinner (Potato Wedges and Chicken Dippers) and in the process of completing my mid-term paper.

Cheers!
