2. How could immersion impact your experience as a student?

I think this will impact my life as a student a lot. The truth is I'm having a really bad experience at my internship. I'm doing my internship at Scripps, and at first I thought that would be good, it was a hospital right were I wanted. But I didn't expect I would end up in the cafeteria area, and with a dietitian as my mentor. I'm not wearing scrubs and taking care of sick people or newborn babies. I'm going to that little room in the back of the kitchen (with a hairnet on) and I'm not doing much. Not that I don't want to I just don't know what to do. My mentor is a really busy person so she's expecting me to do things that I don't know how to do and I can't do them. And of course She's not there to "mentor me" and explain me how to do them. I'm not working with her, or learning from her. I'm just doing EXTRA work in the area. How is this impacting my student life? I like school. I appreciate my teachers. I like people telling me WHAT I'm supposed to do and HOW to do it. So I'm happy to be here. Be back. During immersion, I'll I could think of was coming back and having a normal student life. no more nasty work. Boring useless work. seriously any of our projects can help the world better than internship. This is how internship impact me as a student, I want to be a student not an employee.
