Internship Day 2

This morning was rather boring for the most part. Aside from waiting for Ms. Alex to know that I arrived, it all started when I was waiting for a tutor session to observe. Then Ms. Alex asked me to join a couple of the PTs in a game for teaching English (so I was told). It was more of a Get-to-Know-You board game. On each space it said something like "Your pet" or "What country you are interested in". The PTs, who are girls, started the game by saying "If you had to be anything but a human, what would you be; and why?" It was tricky for me to answer that question, so I tried to think hard. "Spring, I guess," I said. "Why?" asked the girls. "Because it's nice and warm, but not to hot or too cold." I was allowed to be something like a season, by the way. Then they asked me "What kind of person would you be?" In other words, who do I want to be someday? "Actress or singer." That was when they got excited and my morning was suddenly interesting. "Sing to us!" they begged. Of course, I get nervous when I have an audience to sing to, and I was already really shy to these girls. I then sang three songs to them, and they still could not get enough out of me. Then, to my great relief, Ms. Alex returned with my bag and said "Your mom is here waiting for you." I had already seen Mom pass down the hall after singing my last song, so I knew she was there. Apparently, she and the girls were not the only audience I had. "Was that you singing? I thought I heard singing." said Ms. Alex. When I got to school, Ms. Rachel, as I expected, asked me how my internship went. I told them how boring it was with no PTs and tutees to observe, and she said: "That's how it sometimes is."
