This week was an up and down roller coaster for me. In the one hand I got an email from my favorite company, Newbay Media, to be an unpaid intern who just does writing and some reading. At first I wanted the job but after speaking with my career adviser she shown a light stating how this isn’t right. The funny part is the “she” also kept saying to not take the job, and I was just ignoring her like always. I have yet emailed the company stating that after thinking about it I can not aspect this position. But anyway, also this week I got an awesome surprised from one of the designers there. So it turns out I’m going to be train to see if I could be place on the team. Of course I’m super happy and can’t wait to start next week. Also I will be working 4 days a week now.
So far I know I’m still going to be paid $8 an hour, but the fun part now I have a better chance at raising the $1500 faster because I can put in more hours. I already planned out how I’m going to break-down my weekly and daily budget. I’m happy that I’m going to be more of a design assistant compare to a intern. I’m happy I get more of some designing parts than just doing whatever someone needed help in.
But I do have some sad news. I got an email yesterday reminding me that the 6 months before I have to start paying back my student loads are ending up. I’m going to wait at least a week or two into December before asking for any chance of getting a raise, or being hired full-time.

So to be ready for my new role I’m practicing really hard with Adobe Illustrator and using my wacom tablet, since that what they usually use at my internship. Time to prove myself and hope they see I can be at their level of design; plus I pick up on tricks and skills easily, because I put them to work right away. Practice makes perfect, and putting what I learn to use right away is the best way to practice something new. Since repeating something is how we learn a new skill, so repeating the new skill right away helps me learn it even faster.
