First Day

Senior project started with a 7:45 wake up, earlier than I wake up for school on a daily basis.  I got a quick breakfast, and then headed out.  It was a stormy day, but the 40 minute drive to VMD headquarters was very easy.  Upon arriving, I met my mentor Sarah for the first time, and she showed me around the office.  I then sat in on a meeting where they were buying display for their product from a vendor.  It was fascinating to learn about how they wanted to maximize display of their product and their logo.  After the meeting I was assigned a task from Sarah.  She made me the admin of Marker's, Dallbello's, and Volkl's Facebook Instagram and Twitter pages.  My job is to go through a list of vendors, and see if they like each others pages.  Its tedious work, and I managed to go though about 60 pages, along with noting the followers and their social media activity.  At that point it was about 1:50 and I realized it was time to go.  I headed back to Proctor with a quick detour to Subway for a bite to eat.  I got back to Proctor around 2:45, then quickly changed into a suit and tie and headed to my game against Holderness.  We ended up losing 11-10, after being down 8-3 at half.  Holderness went ahead with 10 seconds left.  Despite the loss, I enjoyed the start of my internship with VMD.
