 Activities: Updating labels, organizing website, designing invoice

 Technical Information: Microsoft Word, weebly

 Reflection: Today I continued on the same everyday tasks: updating the website, calendar, labels, etc. I also began a new task of designing an invoice that Sweet Peak would send to customers after they place an order. The setup of an invoice is pretty easy, word has a lot of templates for one. The most difficult part was finding a template that fit with the theme of her bakery and one that she approved of, that fit well with her logo as well. 

 Write a final reflection of the entire internship experience. Overall, my internship experience as a whole was a good one. I had a lot of fun working with Ms. Gage in a relaxed environment, with an overall relaxed work experience and schedule. I believe that my internship experience was a lot different than that of my peers, but in a good way, I wouldn't want to redo it in any way. I did have to make up some hours, but I already had another job, so it worked okay in my favor. My internship was a good addition to my summer and my high school career as a whole, it helped my develop new technology skills and gave me a glimpse of a different kind of work environment, and look forward to returning to work at Sweet Peak NC again this summer.

Date: July 27th Activities: Updating database, printing and organizing labels Technical Information: Enciva, Microsoft Word Reflection: After the third day of updating the database I was finally up to date, and I only had to keep up with it from now on. I also began the process of sorting labels: there was a system of folders each with different labels for pastries, my job was to make sure there were enough of needed labels for the upcoming farmers market, and print more if needed. There were also a few formatting issues with the labels, so with trial and error I was able to fix those as well. How have your classroom experiences prepared you for the internship? What do you wish you had learned prior to the internship? Technical skills I learned through AOIT especially through POIT freshman year helped a lot through the internship, I didn't really apply any programming skills through my time working with Ms. Gage, and I might have been more prepared had I been a wed design s...

Date: July 24th Activities: Updating databases Technical Information: Enciva Reflection: I continued to work on updating the databases, it was a long process that probably took about three or four days to complete. Each visit I had to make sure I wrote down where I left off so I could find where to pick up the next time I came in. I think by the second day I was up to 2016 customers. Describe the work atmosphere. How are decisions made, is it cooperative or competitive, what is the dress code and work ethic of the organization? The work atmosphere was very relaxed. I worked with Ms. Gage directly at her house, I had my own space on the counter where I would work on her laptop and talk to her while she baked. Ms. Gage is the owner of her own small business, so all decisions were made by her, it was a competitive business, competing with other local bakeries. There was no dress code, I could come over wearing what I wore that day or if I came from my other job, I could come in ju...

Date: August 4th Activities: Updating website and calendar Technical Information: Weebly and Google calendar Reflection: Today I started on probably my biggest project of the internship, which was finding obscure holidays to try and put them on the calendar, like did you know that November is national peanut butter month? My job was to find these kinds of holidays to add to the Sweet Peaks calendar to promote specials, such as honey cupcakes on national honeybee day, or a free peanut butter cookie with every order in November. I coordinated between the google calendar and Weebly so that all these specials would appear on the website when customers visited to place orders. What do you feel is your main contribution to your internship? What have you done at your internship that makes you proud? Why? I feel that the calendar and updating the database were my two biggest contributions two the internship, because they were two things that hadn't been accomplished yet and they bo...
