Well the semester is done and I can finally relax.
This week has been very exciting. I did some more work on the Puffin grant, it's coming along nicely, right at 500 words, which is the max. I'll probably try to bring it down some.
But today was the topper. Brenna had to get the capitalist creative grant paperwork in, this is one of the biggies we work on. Basically I helped her get it in all in order while her and Deb finished up some of the narrative work. Basically I went through everything on the checklist, made sure we had it, then put it all in order. But it wasn't just filing work, there was easily 100 pages of work to keep in order, plus I had to look through our G drive and find several files, it was good practice though, it got me used to navigating our filing system and it freed Brenna up to get the narrative work done. Brenna actually asked me to do that for those 2 reasons, good learning experience. By the time I left at 2:30 it was almost all but done. Just a few signatures in important spots and Deb getting her part of the narrative finished, then making 5 copies of all of it and it was done.
I'm getting more comfortable in my role there and more confident that I'm actually helping out. Feels good.
