Cruising through my last day

Time sure does fly when you're having fun... yes, having fun! I actually didn't expect my internship to be as fun and rewarding as it has been, and I'm hugely grateful that it has been.

I think I'm finishing up my placement at the right time, as it has definitely hit peak-stress-levels among the the other staff. Everyone is going 100 miles per hour getting everything sorted for the events to start next week. Due to this, I haven't got much tasks to do today, which is odd because I'm more than willing to help them out. Although I do understand that most of the things that they are handling right now is completely out of my league.

I have been helping Ivo a lot today - the creator behind all the Motorplex and Speedway TV commercials. I've just been doing camera checks and small office jobs for him to keep me occupied.

I have learnt so much over the 6 weeks I have been here, and also have had the chance to incorporate almost everything (yes, everything!) I have learnt in class into real life situations. It's been amazing and I almost feel ready to work for real... almost! Professional communications, liaising, creating PR plans, the numerous documents I created are only just a few examples of the tasks I have been undertaking. It's also amazing to see that my ideas I put out in my PR plan are actually getting used in real life!

I feel like over the past few weeks I have been accepted into this small family at the Motorplex and I'm so happy and honoured to have spent my professional placement here - I couldn't imagine doing it anywhere else.
