Matt’s Final Monday Blog

Ah, here we are. The last Monday of the intrepid Impact in-office intern experience. It’s been a fun ride for sure. And as we reach the end of our tenure, we find ourselves ever closer to completing our current roles in the Microcredit and Youth Canada projects. I say current, because the subject of us interns staying on as full-fledged Impact team members has been raised. Nothing is guaranteed, however. I’ve heard whisperings of a UFC-style cage match being the deciding factor .

Today was a pretty typical day in the office. Alex, from his exalted Olympian chair, rains tasks upon the willing interns like summer rain upon the parched desert. He also makes sure to help us improve our office skills, with healthy, regular doses of constructive criticism. Youth Canada is really coming along… we hope to send it public very soon. Microcredit is officially moving- all that remains for us is to recruit teams and wait for companies to drop prizes into our laps.

In other news, Wendy loves fanfics.

Cheers!

Matt on behalf of the 4-I’s

A Thrilling, Therrific, Thantastic Thursday

We spent most of today updating the database for the beta version of our Youth Canada website. It was hard work, but, by the end of the day, we had produced fine results. Many of the program descriptions had to be edited, and the logos altered to fit exact dimensions. This sounds tedious – and it was – but it was satisfying to see how our website had grown in only a few days. It is even more exciting to think of what it will become over the next few months.

Meanwhile, Wendy and Will went to Playland for a Shad reunion. It was raining in the morning, but it cleared up by the afternoon, and Wendy says she even got a tan.

Also, we looked forward to going out with the virtual interns on Friday at Shabusen.
