Yesterday was my last day at my internship. Last days are always a little odd for me- I never quite know what to do. I didn't want to start any new projects, but my old projects weren't quite going to take up the whole day. As it turns out, I started a new project anyways- but with every intention that it'd be a start for something for my mentor to work on, get other people's input on, etc. The real excitement of that project was that it was something that I thought up, totally on my own, suggested to her, and she said- "that's great, why don't you start writing it?". That's really exciting, as a mark of what I've learned.).
So I had lunch with my mentor, and got 2 books as goodbye presents- "The Encyclopedia of Jewish Food" from my mentor, and a book about different holiday customs from Jewish communities around the world, from the office. It's a book I used for a couple of pieces that I wrote during my time there- so it was both appropriate and pleasing, since I enjoyed it while I was working with it. (And now I get to read the whole thing, without just stealing extra reading moments while waiting for inspiration...)
