This has been a week that started off on the right foot. After being away from my blog and work for the past week I am back and in full health and speed to take on this week and the following weeks to come. So far the experience at the Digital Media Studios have been enlightening and overwhelming at times.
Having to juggle school, work and health is vitally important to me-with my health being of the most important of the three. My health has been acting up while I was employed at the DMS Offices (at times landing me in hospital or in the emergency room at weird hours of the morning) but my coordinator has been extremely understanding of my health issues that at times I feel as if my health tends to abuse this fact.
School has been a priority more important than work to say the least since I can not be employed by the DMS if I am not a student here, but for the past 2 months I have learned to work on scheduled times and time tables (a lesson in time management I have yet to admit to have learnt). I was extremely doubtful of being employed and working at the same time this year as I felt that my school work would actually be at risk of declining, but for some odd reason I have been performing extremely well for a person who works for work study-with a "B" average mark.
DMS Offices have obviously been quite a good learning ground where I have developed most of my professional virtues from. What I particularly like about this environment is the manner of transparency and openness in which my coordinator conducts his work and coordinates the environment as well. We engage in quite a range of discussions ranging through a lot of topics and one's opinion is taken into consideration and thus allowing everyone to freely speak their mind and engage. I have found that to be extremely delightful as student assistants at times need an open channel of communication with their respective coordinators.
As this week begins I hope a lot more comes to light and I learn a lot more during the period of my stay here.
