Balancing my work and school was very difficult because my internship would take a lot of time, and it was possible to balance it early on in the internship because my main task at the beginning of the internship was to be trained. Now I am at the end of my training and I already have important and time consuming tasks. The task is for me to find all the information about all the listings on zillow for two zipcodes such as price, how big the house is, property fees, mortgage rates, etc. This may sound easy but it is still a lot of work to do so it takes a lot of my time to search and type manually. I would say that balancing my school and work is only possible if I sacrifice a lot of my sleep time to do these two things. Although it is difficult and you are tired, but I get more, gaining knowledge and work experience so I am still very happy!
As this is currently a summer internship, I am only taking this course for Summer 2022. And since the course is based on this internship it makes it easier to keep track of my progress during my internship. I try to balance it all together by making some notes of my progress that makes it easier to connect it with the material covered in the course. At times the internship got a little challenging because at I was overwhelmed by different workloads, but overtime once my mind and body got used to the system and it was a lot easier to balance everything.
