Sylentnight's Internship Experience Day 4

Rate this Entry
So actually I am kind of in the middle of it today but since I realy have nothing to do right now since it's almost over I thought I start on it right now.

So in the morning I had arrived and dumped off my stuff again in my Internship Advisor's teacher before leaving my school for the other school... across the street.

I guess maybe I'll talk a bit about my school so it doesn't sound so confusing a little later on in case I ramble a lot. I am a part of the High Tech High school system, which is all based on Project Learning. I go to the Original Hgh Tech High school. Not one of the mongreling faker one's. So there are about 5 other schools surrounding the one I go to, so we usually call it the HTH Village or just the Village. I went from my school into High Tech High Media Arts. I went to the third floor to the Common where breakfeast was being served. I got my food and sat down at the table I sat last time. While I was eating, the Canadians came inside th ebuiding and they all got their food and sat down where they were yesterday. Pat, michael, and Robert sat at the same table I was like yesterday and I we began to chat with each other. We talked miscanlleous things or they would ask me questions about my student life and wht i do at school.

Talking to people who are probably twice my age give or take is pretty nerve racking. I really hate the thought of talking to people so the fact i usally have to talk to people I don't know, from different countries or states and older than me, freaks me the hell out. I am not joking when I say I think I almost pissed my pants a few times because I stmbled or I had no clue what to say. So while chatting, I remembered that I had to get a few signatures and thoughts about what people thought. So I went up to them, stuttering, swety, and felt like cryign asking them if they would not mind writing down in paragraph wht they thought about the school and how they felt about it. I got four people in all and I feel quite proud I was able to break away from my shy self for a bit and got brave enough to ask them questions.

After breakfast and the speech the Principle and Founder of our school, I went straight back to class to get ready for the lunch meeting I would have with both of my mentors. I had an hour of 'break' I guess you could say so I spent a few minutes here and the rest of the time watching PewDiePie. So when it hit 11:50 I went back to Media Arts where they were serving a Grek lunch today and I got my food and went with my mentor to the conference room to have th eonline meeting (because my second mentor was somewhere else and used his laptop to communicate with us). We talked about my project proposal and what more I could add and some advice of who to ask for and on what to do.

So the objective for the next 2 days is to get some video footage of the visitrs, make a draft of a storyboard for my video, and then work on making a shcedule on Google Calendar for the next 3 weeks or so.

Right now I'm working on borrowing a video camera from a teacher and trying to figure out some questions to ask the visitors for the interviews.

And that is how my day is going.

Doh! And I almost forgot. Since someone asked about my second day, i really didn't think the need of doing one since all i did was sit on my ass watching Youtube videos and talking to 2 girls there since none of my mentors were there and we still had not come up with some sort of project to do.

    Oh. If anyone feels like commenting or whatever I have a request if any of you are so kind to do it.

    I need help with a few questions to ask for the interviews tomorrow or if someone has some expereience with using a video camera.

    The people that I am interviewing are people from the school district interested in learning about how our system works here at Project Based Learning hihg school. I need to ask them questions on how they feel like coming to this school and what were their initials reactions and what did they laike about it or what they mght try to apply to their schools.

    So if anyone is reading this and is willin go thelp ou.t Thanks.
