First Week.....eeeek!


First week in work at Northeastern University's NU Global Office....has been great! The week started slow but picked up as I began to get to know people, the area and the type of work involved, it picked up fast! My tasks this week were to create a student newsletter for August! I had to write a wee intro about the month August, I included Obama birthday! then had to keep the students informed about important events then research cool activities for them to go to around Northeastern and in Boston! Finished it by the end of the week and waiting to send this first draft on to the appropriate person. Next I carried about little projects for my boss, Francis, They included searching for students subscore for TOEFL tests and update an excel sheet with these scores. Finally, I was much involved with the running of TOEFL tests that Northeastern carry out. Me and Clearance had to pack boxes, making sure that all materials were included. I ordered breakfast for me and the other proctors of the exam and then ran the exam! I checked in students and sorted the technology side of things too! on Friday, I got my time sheets and put my first week in! So excited to get paid :D gonna buy something nice for myself! So all in all, a great start to my working life at Northeastern University and looking forward to this full year of placement in the beautiful city of Boston!
