The day start as always. When we arrive at our internship there were some people who just had meeting with Aroon. We all enter in room, and start doing what we supposed to do it. Every thing was perfect by the time Prachi came.

Prachi is my and Diana's mentor. when she came she send me to the library, which was fffffffffffaaaarrrrr away from our work place and then she send me in the office to parcel some kind of package... and that office was way Far away.

after i leave i walk for 35 minutes to get there and then return some books and went to the office! and then came back. In the mean time while i was out. Diana C, Shalom, Syira, Umer and Sunny were working there. Prachi didn't had anything to do, so she started to yell on all of them. what happened was that shalom was on the phone but she wasn't talking and syira asked shalom some question, and shalom respond. because syira

didn't knew it and she asked prachi started to yell. she just not yell on syira but others too! who gave her permission to treat us like this? what she think she is? She just a part time worker at IAAC, but she thinks shes the boss.

after i came, she asked me:
Prachi: where were you on Thursday?
Me: i had just an hour left so i decided not to waste my whole day, so ill cover that this week.
(fine even if i made a mistake, that's my first time and i already said her sorry more than 100 times, but she expecting more!!!! what else she wanted me to do???)

then she told me to cover my hour the way she want. that means if she told me to stay long, i have to. but this doesn't make sense. i asked her whos going to do my hw then? so she said I'm coming here because of you, i can do my work at my home. ........................... it means she really don't want us, the work we have done for here, she will never be able to do that. we have enter countless submissions, we emailed people, and a lot more work like this, that she never can do by her self.
now you tell me what should i do? i m working then that doesn't mean they will rule my life. i hate my mentor, even if shell change, i will never forget the things she said to me and my friends. i hate her, and she have no rights to talk with us like that... HOW DARE HER!!!!!!!!!! i have never seen or heard form my teachers talking with us like this... even if our teachers never treat us like this, who's she saying nonsense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Begging of my first week, I never had any expectations of fun, but now every thing seems to be change. I just finish my third week and I am so happy to be a part of Indo-American Art Council (IAAC). So Far I don't have any complain about my mentors, as soon as we are trusting each other, we are being more closer.

On Wednesday, we had our first ART EXHIBITION, which was awesome. The students from our school who are in art decorate the whole area with different kinds of Talents. In the afternoon, all of us from dance and film festival arrive there too. We talk with different kind of people, we serve so many different kind of food and drinks. We all worked hard and make our mentors to trust on us! that was the only day for us to show them how much we care about our work, so we did as much work as possible for us.

After the event we came back home, but that was not it! Shalom, Me, Diana and Syira went to the subway, when we get there we realize our metro card credit was finished. we talked with the lady and request her if she can let us go from the emergency door. Maaannnn she waist our 15 minutes!!!! LOL!!!!!!!! THAT WAS FUNNNN!!!! than we took the wrong train and at the end finally shalom ask the train driver if he can tell us the right way, and guess what we took Shalom's picture with that driver. Then finally one by one we split and reached homes!!

THAT WAS THE GREAT DAY EVER!!! CANT WAIT FOR OTHER EVENTS!
