Day One and Two

Work has been good so far. We do a lot of work online here at the house cause that's how TWLOHA can reach as many people as possible. Yesterday we did work with the street team and today we worked on answering Myspace messages. Some may see these as boring task, but it's quite enjoyable when you have the right group of people working together and cracking jokes and such. We also took a personality test today called Strengths Finder 2.0. The book comes with a code that you use to go online to take a series of questions that help point out what your top 5 strengths you have or have the potential to have if you invest in the given strength; it was very insightful. My top five strengths were that I'm restorative, deliberative, a developer, responsible, and empathetic. I'm really excited to start working on my strengths instead of working on my weaknesses. It's going to be an amazing summer with amazing people. I'm excited to break off into smaller teams to work on projects that are going to make an impact on people that I may never ever meet or even speak to. I also find it awesome that of all the 12 interns we all have similar strengths, but none of us have the same exact top 5 strengths. It will be interesting to see how we mess all of our strengths together to work towards common goals. This is going to be a crazy, exciting, and interesting ride this summer and I can't wait to get started.

Oh I've got a few books that I'm hoping to read this summer, the one I'm working on right now is Messy Spirituality. I have a problem with buying books during the school year to read, but I don't have time to read them...so I'm planning to read them this summer while interning in Cocoa. I've also found a great place to get away from everyone so that I can get some peace and quiet just to sit and read and think. A quiet place is hard to find when you live with 15 people. More to come in a few days. I'm only updating every other day. :-)
