Senioritis...

I recently received an e-mail from a "pseudo" supervisior at my internship site (addressed to all interns) related to adequate completion of documentation. Although he meant the e-mail to be a form of encouragement, it was also sent as a reminder to the interns on staff to be mindful of senioritis...as we are nearing the end of our training year.

With approximately ten weeks left, I too am feeling the crunch and am counting down the days (and hours) until my move back to Missouri. I can't wait to begin the next chapter of my life (and am equally ready to close this chapter as well). I consider myself to be a very driven, highly motivated person, so achieving goals and getting work done isn't typically a problem for me. In fact, I really enjoy staying busy...I thrive on it (and the feeling of accomplishment I receive when I finish a big project).

Although I am still getting my work done with no difficulty, I forsee problems with senioritis in the future. I find myself getting easily distracted at times, requiring me to force myself to reorient to the task I need to be completing. I fully expect this trend will continue until I am finished here on internship. Although it may become an increasing struggle, I am fully prepared to "go to the mattresses" and fight the good fight until my very last day as an intern!

Wish me luck :)
