My ILP is still going well. I haven't gone much in the last month except for once or twice because of illness, but when I do go my mentor says I do good work. I'm still mostly working in administration with phone calls and stuff, but occasionally I also help organize clothes or file stuff away. I think I've already surpassed the 15 hour minimum of the first quarter. 

The ILP That I am going to participate in will be the ACE program.

Right now my ILP is taking College level courses at Drexel. Everything is in place for my ILP to work as the first session (I cleared this with Jeremy) I spent choosing a course for the Winter quarter. I will be getting my course choice back soon and will start right after the New Year.

Right now I am ILP'ing at my mom's job. She is an accountant at a company where they organize huge sheets of metal and sell them. I so far have just helped out with little work and meeting a couple people but this week I will be taking a tour of the plant, getting to know personally what everyone does in the company; having a conversation with everyone. So I am really looking forward to doing that and seeing how that goes. 

So far, my time at Technical.ly Philly has been jammed packed with a big interview, and i'm set up with a small task on making tweets on the side. So far, Technical.ly has been such a great experience for me, even if I'm working with people who are way higher than my work range. It is also interesting to engage in their adult like conversations about startups and new stories to cover. My mentor, Juliana Reyes, has introduced me to all of the writers and the editors at Technical.ly Philly, and who I get to work with. My first interview was carried put with a boy named Nicodemus Madehou. He created a video game called Turbo Finger Swipe, and I got to interview him. It was fun. Technical.ly Philly is a good ILP.

I have recently obtained my ILP working with a sound engineer at WXPN, but I have not yet started interning for them. I have been working to figure out what I wanted to do for my ILP over the past couple weeks, and have had my share of ups and downs. I began by thinking that I was going to intern at a recording studio, but instead found out that they could not accommodate my services for the time being, so I went on a search to find out what other options were available. I then stumbled across an opportunity at WXPN, where I would be able to learn some engineering techniques that they use in the music business. Since I haven't started my ILP yet, I have not had the opportunity to see what it's like yet; I'm excited to get started!

I just figured out my ILP a couple days ago and have not gone yet. For my ILP I am going to be volunteering at my old elementary school; Russell Byers. I am very excited to go back and help out because I have had so many great experiences at that school, and am truly interested in doing anything I can to help my former teachers and mentors. I will be going next week for the first time!
