Intern Diary. (Unfinished)

Ten minutes before the end of work Steve, my boss, called me into his office to ask me about what I did for the day and what I planned to do for the future. He asked me to write up a proposal/objectives of internship-sort of thing ASAP. I'm starting to feel the pressure and kind of embarrassed because I shouldn't have let my boss come to talk me about that; I should have gone to him myself. But overall, I'm pretty happy because I feel like I'm finally at the place where people want me to learn. Well, I'm sure my mentor in Sloan-Kettering's lab wanted me to learn too (and it was my job to be proactive and to communicate with them) but they did not take the extra step to guide me. The sense of nurture was lacking in that environment. Even though the work hours in the lab was an hour less but I felt the day was so much longer. Right now in CPC 8 hours felt like 4 hours; they just flied by each day and the day was over before I realized it. I guess that's a good thing.
