Canada

This blog is about my trip to Canada from February till the end of July. The reason I have this blog is that my family/ friends and teachers can read what I have been up to.
I'll write about my preperations, flight, what I have learned at the internship company as well as any side trips.

Week 18 - Tuesday: Day 86

More magazine work. I picked up the work from yesterday and continued with creating ads.
We finished the main sponsor ad and changed the picture to the Taber one instead of the random one from internet. We both got used to the previous picture size so working with the new one was hard. I also had to add blue to the yellow background.

Some companies didn't have websites which was quite annoying, but luckily they had a facebook page with pictures or enough information. I received more business cards to add in which made room for more ad work.
The graphic design for magazines is quite a lot work. I understand why it took so long for the earlier events.
Now I do have a huge role in this one. In the previous ones I only made one simple ad and was actually unsure what to do, but now I worked on full page, half page and quarter page ads!
I finished some quarter page and half page ads and also one full page which was the trickiest one.
I didn't know what to do with it, but later it all came together. I wasn't done yet, but the supervisor was happy with it so I left it.
Some ads had to be rearranged. I didn't realize three companies were from one guy so we set those up before I left at 5.

At home I had to get the food ready for the goodbye party! Turned out more people would drop by than expected: 8 people to be precise. I started wondering if we had enough food xD
The first people came in at 6 immediately and the rest came later so they started a game: Dutch Blitz.
Oddly enough I didn't know the game which shocked my roommates. "It's Dutch!" They yelled.
Yeah sorry, I don't know it =P So they played it and I watched. In the meantime more people joined and also started playing. I still didn't play and another person also chose not to play so we started talking and went to the food. More people followed at 7 and started trying the Dutch snacks.
Most people LOVED the Stroopwafels and those were the ones to be finished completely as well as the Hamkas and Nibbit's chips. The black licorice wasn't really touched by most of them, but one person kept saying how good it was xD
Most people left and the last people left at 10:30.  It was a good party, everyone got along perfectly. Only at the end I was getting tired so I had a hard time jumping in a conversation.
But i'm grateful for the people to show up  to be there for my goodbye party (or to try the snacks =P)

Well, one roommate is addicted to the snacks and she will bring a lot for her family who they will visit on Thursday.
