You're off to your second week interning and I suspect you're learning a great deal about the ins and outs of your site. This week's writing task involves how you document the work you'll be doing each day. In other words, "How do you keep good records of the work you do each day?" This is an extremely important part of your internship and you’ll need to use your journals each and every day.
Take a look at this story:
An intern came to me this morning and complained that he wanted a new site. I responded "Why?" He began to tell me how he had asked his mentor if he could use an office computer. She said, "Sure, no problem." So this young man proceeded to do some work on the computer for an hour or so. At the time he was about to leave and get his time card signed, his mentor approached him and said, "What have you done today?" He paused, sort of amazed that she was asking him that question. To make matters worse, his mentor didn't ask the question in a kind way, and the intern felt pretty upset. He had been working all day at his internship site, but he wasn't quick to respond with a list of things that he'd done. He left the internship that day feeling really dejected. He wished he hadn’t been there at all. It was a sad day.
So what's the lesson of this story? In your post for today, answer the question. Create a plan that you think will be the best plan to make sure that you are able to explain to your mentor at the end of a day, week, or month, what you’ve been accomplishing. What about being able to record all the things you're learning and doing so that you can write an essay in April about your internship? What can you do?
1. after my second week of internship this is how i keep the good report that i have done each day of internship . so each day after internship when i get home i took my pen and notebook i write all the thing that i have done for the all day of internship . the reason i did not do it at my site its because i didn't have that much time to do it .so i take my journal home and do my work i home .
2. i think the lesson of this story is that dooing the day you should write in your journal all the work that you have done for the day. because if that was that what i will do to make it eassy for me

You got it. So I'm wondering why you haven't been blogging each week.
