So let's start with the update where i left of, in July. I finally received my letter of recommendation from my internship and wow it was worth waiting for.
When i read it the first time I literally cried. Nobody has every used so many nice words about me before. I actually felt competent! :D Not that I would do so very often (especially since i am such a university failure). But well decide for yourself! Here are some quotes:
Ms R's contribution to the Book Fair was vital to the Consulate's success at this key event.
Ms R assisted with [several official visits (shouldn't mention the specifics, SBU you understand! ;))], demonstrating a high degree of organizational competence and reliability.
Ms R [wrote several drafts and remarks for the CG and the two Officers.] Her texts were clear, relevant and readily usable, something greatly appreciated by the users of the material.
Ms R also expertly created and maintained information about restoration of the historic Capa building in Leipzig.
Ms R was an effective translator, providing quick, accurate translations of press articles or internally generated documents as needed.
Ms R provided regular input and updates for our social media sites, breathing new life into these increasingly important communication tools. Her style, consciously pitched at a youthful audience, resulted in consistently fresh material for the Consulate's official Facebook page. (how can you make updating fb and twitter sound so important and noteworthy?)
Her willingness to learn and to get involved with a wide variety of activities is noteworthy.
.....
These were my favorite parts! I have now idea about whom they are talking in this letter of recommendation but I hope to meet that person one day or maybe even become her! ;)
Tomorrow hopefully more on my trip to Copenhagen in July and well everything that followed afterwards. :)
PS I thank leo.org and wikipedia for the useful help during my internship! :D
