What am I Doing Here?

So, it's Wednesday: my third day at my first internship. As I sit here in my cubicle, idly looking around, I thought that blogging might be something productive to do. I mean, I am the Social Media Intern, so blogging is what I'm supposed to be doing...I think.

This summer, I am interning at a prestigious communications (public relations) firm. As a rising sophomore with barely any experience, I am so blessed to have this opportunity. As the Social Media Intern, I actively work with the Social Media Manager and the Interactive team. No, I don't get coffee and no, I don't make copies. God is definitely good. So, what do I do?

I don't even know.

I have been given an enormous amount of freedom with this opportunity, but I think it's a freedom that I will have to get used to. For the past three days, I've been really frustrated. My supervisor seems completely content with me just sitting here looking cute for three months. "I have no expectations for this summer, Jessica!" he told me (as if he was reassuring me). So, no pressure, right?

Wrong.

With this much freedom, it's not really in my nature to just chill-out and stay on Facebook all day. I need to be doing some legit. Really legit. So, hopefully some ingenious idea will strike me as I sit here in gratitude.

Until that time, I will also sit here in frustration as my "supervisor" tells me nothing about what I should be doing...for three months. I sit in awe as I listen to a "colleague" have a phone conversation...with someone who is right across the room. I sit in wonder as I receive an email as fast as an AOL instant message...from the person in the cubicle next to me. I sit in awe as I eat a lunch at an expensive restaurant...not knowing which "colleague" paid for it. I sit in annoyance as one of the interns talks my ear off...about nothing in particular.

If nothing else is clear, one thing is for sure: I am going to have to learn to go with the flow this summer...and this may be a long summer.
