Charleston 2010!!

Several BMW girls and I went to Charleston, SC this past weekend! We had a great time. Unfortunately, it was FREEZING!! Definitely not what you would expect from the beach. :P We were not able to actually go to the beach due to the weather. However, we had a great time being tourists and going to cute shops and eating!! :P

This week is non-production week at BMW. No cars are being produced, but bills still need to be paid, so that's why I'm here! There are several interns who got vacation this week. I am glad to be here though, and we get Friday off. :)

Mid-March

Tomorrow lots of college students will come to the Interview Day to try and get an internship or Co-Op with BMW. I am so excited to help out, because now I will be able to experience this day from the employee side! I won't be nervous, and I will be experienced. Hopefully, I'll be able to help ease some of the interviewees stresses.

My job will be to take pictures throughout the day of the students as they go through the various days activities. We will make a brochure to advertise the Internship & Co-Op experience at BMW.

I am still waiting to hear back on when we will be moving to the new location. I just spent over an hour with one of my co-workers. She was showing me how to post invoices in our accounting system! One more thing to add to my resume!

This weekend, me and 5 other BMW girls are going to Charleston. We are staying in a lake house, I can't wait!!

New Things

Lots of things happened last week... My department is expanding, so we are moving to a new office. We are moving to the Clemson University research building. It is called the ICAR center. It is supposed to be really nice. The only sad thing is I won't be able to eat lunch with all of my engineering intern friends. I really like my coworkers though, so it won't be too bad. Because we are moving, I have been given more work than ever. I am really enjoying it though.

Internship Extended!

My boss has just confirmed that I will be working until the end of the Summer! It will be very good to gain more experience and a little extra cash. ;) This week, I was in charge of answering suppliers questions about invoice payment. I've made a few mistakes, but my co-workers are very helpful and understanding. I've heard that to become a full time employee at BMW is very competitive. I hope that after graduation, I will have a good shot at getting an offer. I love living in Greenville. Everything is so close, but you still have the "downtown feel."
