So yeah this. My internship has ended today, as agreed on paper.

Despite frustrations from both sides due to the whole COVID situation (also because of a renewed lockdown that was announced yesterday) which derailed a conference we were going to hold tonight, I still enjoyed this. Apparently the reason they haven't called me much recently was because they've been really busy trying to sort things out. I'm a bit worried about their health to be honest but I'm sure they'll be fine.

The best part? They said that because I have their phone numbers, I can call them in the future if I need their help for something. So my goal of expanding my personal network for my own future benefit has succeeded.

And they said that if the conference ever gets back underway they'll invite me so I can meet the veterans there. I love hearing people's stories, and as a wannabe writer this is great for me. I'm really glad and blessed to have taken this internship.

And I'll never take small businesses for granted ever again, now that I've glimpsed the struggles behind the scenes.
