Subject: internship Author: Kate [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:22:38 04/04/03 Fri well it sounds like we are all on our way. i'm glad to hear you like santa rosa steph. i remember you saying you weren't to sure about that. i thought it was funny you don't like the clothes. i'm still laughing about that. i'm jealous of your weather. it was nice here over spring break then got super crapy. i started my internship last week. meeting clients and doing a bit of observing. i was wondering if any of you have any ideas of specific questions you are asking interpreters after your observations. i've been doing a lot of observing and i ask about some of their sign choices or journal about their methods of getting missed information. i was wondering if anything has come up concerning anything specific you've inquired about. can anyone relate to this?? i notice that i have a problem paying attention. sometimes, ok often, i'm more interested in understanding the information given than the interpreting process. my mentor has given me some homework activities to do that will help with this, i hope. i see it in my volunteer experience also. i will be interpreting for the leader then forget i need to interpret questions that come up also because i'm interested in the question not my job. opps. i'm wondering if any of you are having a similar problem and how you are handling it. well i hope you all are doing well. can't wait to hear from you. thank you [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Yeah, I can totally relate. The content material in one of my classes fascinates me and I have caught myself on a few occasions about to start taking notes on the material instead of the interpreting...sometimes I want to answer the prof's questions, too... :-P The only help I've found is to conciously look for lag time, goal, points, etc in my mentors' processes. Sometimes that helps... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
