Real Work Life

I started working this Monday and it has been a very eventful, stimulating week. I'm doing a lot of work that I like, and from today and on, I'll also be maintaining the website and take responsibility for all the print/design materials. I'm always busy creating various organization systems for all different parts of the conference. Creative organization is far more exciting and motivating for me than the process of pure creation. I like playing with some given parts, adding a system to it and organizing things so they work better together.

But there also have been some upsetting or frustrating moments. Because I'm working with a bunch of professors, most of who have never had to compromise or collaborate while working with others, I have to be the liaison for these noncooperative, stubborn men :P I also had a small argument over email with one of the professors because of his extreme sarcasm and ego :P

Overall, I've been having a lot of fun. I cannot say I love it yet because I'm still getting used to the fact that I don't really have a lot of authority and need to wait or chase down the professors for the final decisions on projects. For Senior Week, I pretty much made all the decisions, haha. I miss that a little bit, but I do feel a slight relief since I wouldn't be responsible for most mistakes ;)

Anyway, just an update on my first real job in the real world.
