A LOT! Between paperwork, assignments, driving all over this crazy city, and trying to get what little sleep I can, my life is insane. Weekends? What are those again? Yeah I work at least 6 days every week and all my "spare time" is spent doing homework, catching up on phone calls to interpreters and family and Matt (usually while driving, yeah I know it's not safe but it's the only time I can call people). If I'm lucky I get to bed by midnight and I have recently been getting up before it's light out.
Interpreting wise it's been fun. I've had a few chances to do some hands up time and it's gone well so far. I can't really go into much detail sadly because of confidentiality which I'm quickly learning lots about.
A few nights ago us interns went out with some of the interpreters and we got this ice cream sundae called the "kitchen sink." Basically it's 8 scoops of ice cream, a whole can of whipped cream, and just about every topping in the world including candy bars and angel food cake and cherries and bananas, etc. It was yummy but a lot! It said it serves 4 and between the 6 1/2 of us (yes, I'm counting the cutie in this picture as a 1/2... he's the son of one of the interpreters) we barely ate more than half.
Thanks for the update; I can see why you're a bit slow, but keep up the good work!
