Hello again!
Work has been extremely tiring especially when we're heading towards the end of semester where all our assignments are starting to pile up. 8 hours of sleep doesn't seem to be enough anymore! There were days when I was just fighting to stay awake in front of the screen. Nevertheless, majority of my days at work were productive ones - no doubt, it involved consuming at least 2 cups of coffee.
Last week I was occupied with compiling survey results and tabulating the data into pie charts. I also held a mini photography class for my colleagues since Identitywa just bought a new camera. Besides those, it's all writing, writing and writing. I had media releases to do, drafting posts for social media content, and even coming up with taglines for the organisation's proposal for car bumper stickers. That's probably the job of a copyrighter, but my communications officer was nice enough to brainstorm together with me.
I also came up with a proposal to use Twitter hashtags as a strategy to engage with the community, and since my communications officer did not understand how it worked, I wrote up a strategy/proposal document for her. It basically felt like writing a PR plan, except just the strategy section. She was really impressed because she didn't ask me to write one up for her, but because I've been studying this field for 3 years, I felt the need to put information down neatly into a document. It's also more professional. She really liked the idea as she has always wanted to find a way to get the community to engage and communicate with us, and she said she would forward the document to the CEO. And that was honestly a big achievement for me - not just being there to lend a hand with her work, but to also come up with useful and practical ideas that could contribute to the organisation's growth. ☻
Anyway, next week is finally the last week that I'll be interning at Identitywa. I hope I can learn as much as I can during the last few days, and my sleep deprivation won't get in the way of it! Good luck to everyone else!

Great to see that you're learning new things!
I have thrown myself into drastic situations that forced me to learn new skills as well. One of the most valuable skills I felt I learnt is image manipulation. Because my company has a very small budget, all graphics are created by this free software called GIMP2. It pretty much works like photoshop and it's really useful!
Now I can create my own graphics easily instead on relying on others to help me! :D
