Internship Has Officially Started

So my internship began on Monday. So far, I have a few responsibilities mainly concerning marketing the hotel. I am updating Facebook and Twitter for three hotels within our sales organization, Excelsa Hotels. Also, I've been re-writing the copy for promotional materials and the website. Everyone I work with is really nice and have been extremely helpful. We implemented a "word a day" for me. Vlaho (the marketing manager) is teaching me a new Croatian word each day. Today's word was "zivjeli" which means "cheers." Our office consists of about 7 people with desks in sort of a U-shape so we can talk during the day. I took a short video from the balcony outside the sales office where I work today. The sun finally came out after 3 days of constant rain!

  3. Melissa,
    Team Handball is a great sport-better than soccer but don't tell your Dad or brother. We went to it in the Atlanta Olympics and really enjoyed it.
