Turning on some rock music helps me feel more awake while I start to get ready for the day. As always, I make sure to pack an extra jacket into my backpack before I head out. I can never tell how cold it is going to be here at NAU!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11:30 a.m. \u2013 Now that I am done with my first set of classes, I head over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/legacy.nau.edu\/hotel-restaurant-management\/\">Hotel &amp; Restaurant Management<\/a> building. This is where I work as a <a href=\"https:\/\/legacy.nau.edu\/franke-college-business\/franke-experience\/business-communication-center\/\">Writing Tutor<\/a>. I grab a coffee from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jackcentral.org\/culture\/cult-coffee-at-hrm-will-convert-your-taste-buds\/article_070e6fb2-9ff9-11ec-909a-4b7b7a4f5275.html\">HRM CULT Caf\u00e9<\/a> and get settled into my office. Without fail, some regular students and some new faces pop in for help. I spend the next couple of hours reading essays and helping students perfect them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2:30 p.m. \u2013 After work, I go to a couple of classes. Right now, I am taking a <a href=\"https:\/\/action.nationalhumanitiescenter.org\/what-are-humanities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">humanities <\/a>course and a <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.nau.edu\/Courses\/results?keyword=junior+level+writing&amp;term=1247\">junior-level writing<\/a> course. I love the content in both of these classes. I take notes and try to keep myself organized on upcoming assignments and readings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-arts-letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/04\/IMG_7085-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"The CAL marketing team enjoying Tuesday Night Dinner at their work session, students, pizza boxes and laptops gathered around a table\" class=\"wp-image-10590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/04\/IMG_7085-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/04\/IMG_7085-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/04\/IMG_7085-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/04\/IMG_7085-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/04\/IMG_7085-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/04\/IMG_7085-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/04\/IMG_7085-1200x900.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/328\/2024\/04\/IMG_7085-2000x1500.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>6:30 p.m. \u2013 Now that I\u2019m finished with classes, I get to experience my favorite part of the day\u2014the CAL intern team meeting! I walk over to the Riles building to chat and have dinner with my coworkers. We all work on our projects for the week while bonding with the team leader, Jamie.&nbsp;I do a lot of the work on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nauartsandletters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a> campaigns!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8:30 p.m. \u2013 Finally, the day has ended! I curl into bed and crack open my laptop to do some homework. I like to turn on some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gJfhla-AhME\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coffee shop jazz<\/a> and pour a hot cup of tea to help me wind down and focus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>12:00 a.m. \u2013 Goodnight!
