Midpoint reflection

My Internship has been different since I started it because now I get to do more things in the office and I am more familiar with the work, the people and the place.
The culture I my internship is very diverse. There are people from all over the world working in harmony. It is a little similar with the school but instead of students there are adults.
Multitasking is one of the things I have learned from my internship. I handle the phone, the fax, the mails etc... I know that skill will help me a lot for the future because it helps save lots of time.
I have a pretty smooth relationship with my mentors. They are very understanding and helpful.
Interacting with professional help me understand that in the future their will not be any time to play and that I should not be negligent.
I have learn to speak properly to superiors not that I didn't know that before but at work I get to practice it all the time.
The most challenging thing about this internship is that it is to quit and that makes me want to sleep sometimes. I fight it all the time, before I had coffee to help but now I guess my system is already use to it so it doesn't work much.
The altered schedule has a big impact on my personal life. I really don't have time for me in the week because of all the homework and other thing that I have to do in the family. At some point I thought I would have failed my classes because I really didn't know how to manage my time.
My goal is to do my best.
I have not learned anything about New York City that I didn't know before.
