[Day 3]

[29th/May/09] (9.30am~2.00pm)

Task.

• Post office (with a new colleague)
• Translation (Finishing from last time) - (email it to another colleague)

I did '3rd' day at 'Eastwind' today(29th May 09). I had pretty free time today compare to other previous 2 days for me. First, I had to go to the post office again with another new colleague. I think this is good chance for me to know each other because I can talk a lot of things while we go to the post office and come back, also I can ask him/her many things on the way. We did filings at the postoffice, and give posts to each colleagues which matches to their parts. I came back to my place after that, and worked on my translation work. (but maybe I finished too quick..) It wasn't easy because it was full of Kanji, but my dictionary helped :), maybe thats how I could finish the translation a little bit earlier than I expected. After that, I had to email the work to my colleague (who asked me to do it) .

I felt a little bit lonely today. Maybe I should try harder with other colleagues. (I worked on eportfolio today!!!) they looked busy.. so maybe I couldn't talk to them, but as some of my aims were 'TO BUILD REALATIONSHIPS WITH CO-OPERATORS' and 'TO LEARN HOW TO WORK WITH JAPANESE'. So I guess I should go and talk to them first!

[Day 2]

[27th/May/09] (9.30am~12.30pm)

Tasks.

• Turn the DVD on (at the main enterance)
• To continue the last researching products (the one I couldn't finish last time-soysauce)
• Go to the post office with my colleague
• (At the post office) Learn what to do at post office again. (more jobs than last time.)
• Translation (Eastwind Website - Japanese to Korean

Today was my second day. I was tired, but also excited. I was wondering because the manager wasn't there. I knew later that she went for a business trip. Everyday we go to the post office to get mails, and for any posting works. I think I will take pretty long to remember for this. They said I have to go by myself from next week... The filing mail was very interesting. but before filing, I should remember NAMES FIRST! By the way, It was such a beneficial working day today. because I did [TRANSLATION]! The kanji was still a problem for me, but it was very interesting. It was hard, but as Korean was my first language, so it wasn't not as hard as an English. There were some English words I didn't know before so I could learn more, and It became very good opportunity to revise Kanji. I didn't have much time today so I have to continue tomorrow. Maybe I should prepare tonight for tomorrow's work. :)

[Day 1]

• To learn how to use copying machine, and do copy tasks.

Things I must to do.

• Trying to prepare honorific language, and use it.

Today I went to my work place for first time. I was very nervous at the beginning, so I prepared a small note as I have short memories. Today while I work, I tried to write all the work conditions, or when my manager asks me to do something, I tried to write on my little diary and recorded it. and I also prepared degital camera with me, and I took some photos to remember which might help me for the further work. They seems happy about my research skills and I think they are all good people. This is only first day of my work practicum so maybe I should try harder!

Co-Op

Reflective Journals
[EASTWIND]

I will start to write Reflective Journals on [Blogger]. I started the work at [EastWind] from today, and I still have a lot to do. but upgraded schedule, I can complete this practicum by end of winter holiday. This is my first working experience(not as part-time) so I'm very excited, expecially with Japanese. I want to learn and gain experiences from cultural, academical and also from social experiences.
