Today I officially went back to being the part time SPIN Club Intern for Champaign county's University of Illinois Extension office. My supervisor has returned from her maternity break and is resuming her position, which I filled in for during her absence.
The rest of this semester will be fairly laid back for the both of us. My supervisor is preparing to move back to her home state of Wisconsin so she is only back in her position for a month, while I am preparing to graduate and hopefully secure a full time position in a related field. Since we are both preparing ourselves for leaving Extension we have concluded that it is best not to start and new projects that we won't be able to see through, as well as we do not want to overwhelm the impending new SPIN Club Coordinator.
For the remainder of both of our work terms we have decided to split the load of the SPIN position and work on any tasks together since we have both been dabbling in the same projects now. I am wrapping up starting up two new clubs as well as hosting the Fun Horse Show I have been planning since January that takes place later next month, as well as various other minor projects I have been involved in during my supervisor's absence.
Temporarily filling in for my supervisor gave me the great opportunity to see what it would be like to have a full time position here at Extension. It was very rewarding and very eye opening for me to see what day to day tasks entail. I was glad I could have been given such a learning experience and will use what I have learned to help myself in my future career path.
