i just want say there is so many words i do not understand and i learnt a lot from working at UCAOB, i appreciate it. and thank you. Few days ago, my mentor required me to write a report for the article that is called "Political activity by nonprofit organizations(that was hard, and i still haven't done with the report). and the following vocabs are mostly from that article. except the number 10, it was learnt as i working on filing the member's informations, they asked me to cancel out the duplicate addresses and conbain it into one also put "Family" at their first name....additionally, i really want to communicate with more and more people who speaks english. because i think my english speaking skill are getting worse also in my site mostly i only read english but not often useing it orally. so i wish that people in my site would just speak english to me, as i dont understand it. they could use chinese to translate for me. i think it could also help me.

Drill through the milestone

As time goes by, things get clear. As a intern in the UCA not really a very bad thing, but totally have not had any great time yet either!!! Time seems to get longer and longer everyday i worked there. probably I'm getting tired and frustrated about it. Actually there is no thing interesting to talking about, but of this blog thing. i will try to pick some stuff to talk about!!

My instinct tell me that i don't want to stay inside, but i got no choice . outside cold . but hopefully i would do more outside activities, such as talking to people down the street, go visit some else business that could help me do well and get more experience on what people really wants and how the economy and society tend to be. In fact, I really can't sit front computer for hours, that makes my eyes burns and sore. so i always wish that i can go out do some activity, and more involved in the society and what they do as i working there. part of my job there as a intern is office work, and it probably the one thing that i do the most....

Professors, which i means my mentor Vincci and Andy, Their job is to help out Chinese who have problems in the community or of their own life in America. For example, the food stamp, and translate the english letter for them. Most people came in are seniors. they dont know how to speak english, as they need help, we help them. UCA is a non-profit organization, so we don't charged for any of those service we offered to those Senior. additionally, Vincci and Andy both can sign my time paper for internship.

Thats all i gotta to say for this week. Best wish to myself. peace out.!!!!

Second week of internship at UCA

The snow was beautiful and surprising on Monday, it fell down so hard, covered street with pure white. like in the fairy story, something good thing gonna happen. hopefully.!! I was very glad to see the snow lol. Becuase it get me out of school for a whole day. which is fantastic. therefore obviously, i think there is no one went to his/her site at Monday.!!!

Internship was so boring this week, not even gonna lie. Doing the same thing over and over, again and again . That made me sick. All the thing i've done is fold the summer camp and after school tutoring ad. together! then put it onto letters that already folded into the envelope size and shape, after that is peeling of the mailing seals, and seal it one the letters. Its took away a plenty of my times yoo. even i have to worked overtime for it. Feeling not so fabulous when i was doing it. because i cant learn nothing from it. and as i thought about that i will be one day reserved to take off. i dont have to go there work. it's like some kind worth it!!! probbly....

The week was exhausting and demanding, nothing special that i can talk about!!! so yeah, that all i have done i the past week. !!! best wish that i can be doing something that nice and meaningful next week.. ..
