Tell a little about your mentor.
My mentor's name is Golnar Nikpour. I have to say that she's EXCELLENT mentor.
She helps me alot with the questions. Very guideful and trustful.
She's also nice to ask me about the days in internship.

First day of internship, I was worried about the things I had to do.
But my mentor kindly guide through everything. So I was very relieved.
Now I'm used to it! ^_^

I'd worked on putting books on the shelf, organizing the files into file drawer, and organizing company's book contracts using Microsoft Exel.
What were some of the highlights of the first week? (Memorable moments, cool things...)
There was too many highlights for my first week. I was impressed with how each works were playing different roles. Also, the environment was most memorable for me. It wasn't crowded like high school. Sort mature.

It takes 1hr 30min from school.

What is your schedule?(What days do you work and for how long each day?)
I work Mon-Thurs for 3hrs.
Who are the two people that can sign your time card? (Your mentor and the additional person)
Ms.Golnar signed my time card. But I forgot to ask additional person to sign.

John I am very glad to hear that you like the internship. I have heard few people say such positive things in this first week about their experience.
When you say you will discuss your schedule with your mentor, what do you mean? Do you wish to alter it in some way? -AS-
