What I liked
It makes me feel I have accomplished something new everyday. The learning experiences are never ending, and that could prove very useful in the future. Also, my supervisor and the people around me are wonderful, as well as the working atmosphere. I liked how flexible the working hours were to my class schedule. Also, I made new friends. I like how my supervisor listens to my suggestions.
What I wish was different
Nothing actually, seriously, since the day I started working I've felt welcomed. Everything went smoothly, and according to schedule.
Advice
My one peace of advice would be to always manage your time before time. In that I mean, start planning for your day one day ahead, so would always be on the job early and ready. (not forgetting something back home for instance yiur coffee)
