Internship frustration

I have been working on an operation's manual since the semester started. Initially, I was able to work on it a few hours a day. In the past two to three weeks, I am lucky to open the programs and add a few more pictures to the same document I've been working on for the last two weeks. Although our work has slowed down, there is always something to do in the office, someone has questions, my phone is ringing, a planner needs assistance. There is always something, just not enough time for me to work on my assignment.

In addition to the lack of time I've had, I was assigned a new project, which needs immediate attention. I am not complaining, because this only shows that my supervisor trusts that I am capable of completing the assigned tasks. It's great in a way I get to prove myself one more time. However, I am getting stressed about my assignment.

I have figured however, that if things get tough, I can work a few hours during the weekend on my assignment. The office will be quiet, I will have no interruptions, so i will be able to get ahead in just a few hours I invest on weekends. Yes this is a great idea.

Okay, I feel a little more relieved now. In the meantime, I will continue to work on it as much as possible. I was thinking too, that I will discuss with my supervisor setting aside a couple of hours just for my project. Of course I will need to let my peers know about it so that they can take care of customers.
