First week done and dusted!

Last week I started my placement for Public Relations at the Perth Motorplex, which has been a whirlwind of learning and amazing experiences so far.

I was so nervous walking in on my first day, with lots of thought going through my head - which I'm sure has crossed a lot of other people's minds as well. What if I completely stuff up? What if I can't do something? What if they don't like me? But all that worrying was for nothing! As soon as I walked in, my supervisor Daniel, introduced me to everyone in the office and I was greeted with warm 'hello's,' and big smiles which instantly made me feel 100% more comfortable.

Being at the Motorplex, I was so excited to get started! Growing up around cars and rev heads, I know a little, but not much. I always was around my brother and his mates during my high school years while they worked on their cars and went to meet-ups... but this, this was a whole new ball game.

I got to work and since that first day I have done so much! I've been constantly working on a PR Plan for Motorvation 30, I've liaised with promo agencies to book promo girls, and I have been working on all different documents that go together in a media kit that is sent out to Traders for Motorvation 30.

While all this has been insane and so much work so far, I have learnt from the guys in the office that it's okay to make mistakes. One of the girls in the office, Jade, notices how stressed I get but she helps me along the way. I don't have my trouble with the work, but I just an intern - I am here to learn. This is the real world, and not a class room, but in essence I am still a student and I am here to learn from real world experiences and mistakes.
So far I haven't made any mistakes and I still am worried for that day to come, but I know that's just bound to happen and it's okay because I have people here to help me along the way.

Also, I'm having fun! That's also what this experience is about! My supervisor took me for a drive around the track and every here is always laughing and smiling and not so dead set serious, which makes the office environment much funner and uplifting.

So here I go, onto my second week to have another week of fun!
