Ok, so I've officially been working for 3 weeks! Yay, only 49 more to go! Phew, I shouldn't be keeping track..
So, I'm working at Project PLASE which is an organization for transitional housing, and it helps people who are homeless get back on their feet. Here's the website for those who want to get a better understanding of the organization I'm working for this year: http://projectplase.org/ There are 4 facilities where people can stay, and a new office building! We just moved last weekend and I now have a desk and shared office space with 2 others who haven't been around much so it feel much more real. Before I was just floating around looking for a computer, not really sure of what I was supposed to be doing. I'm still not 100% of what I have to do, but that'll come. After all it's only been 3 weeks.
Also, here is a full list of my positions and the descriptions that go along with that. It looks pretty daunting, but don't worry I haven't done too much yet because I am still training and getting an understanding of what exactly I'm doing with each of them, and they are all going to be take up a little bit of time each week so I'll get stuff done. So, for those who are interested, enjoy!
