September 27th
Today at Aula Balear, me and my collegue did two things, the first was to take photos of some kids, which had between 4 and 6 years and later we had to put it on a schools website named "Clickedu" or something like that. The second task was to take some computers and monitors to the second floor, for that we used a elevator, so it wouldnt be so hard to carry.
After work, at the hostel, I rested a bit and then spent some time playing games, until we leave for dinner.
September 28th
In the Aula Balear, on the 28th, my colleague and I took pictures of two children's classrooms, which we hadn't taken on the 27th, then posted them on the school's website, clikedu. Later we had to take some of the new computers to the room we normally are in, which had room for more computers. In the afternoon I stayed at the hostel, rested a bit until we went to dinner, and for the same I ordered a breaded steak.
September 29th
As it was our last day, we didn't have much to do at work, so we did some things, but not very relevant or laborious. Before we left, the tutor printed and signed the proof that Marcio had completed his internship at the school and then we said goodbye to the lady. In the afternoon I stayed at the hostel, rested a bit until we went to dinner, and for the same I ordered a breaded steak.
September 30/ October 01
30th was our last day in Palma. In the afternoon we took a bus to the airport, which was delayed but there were no problems, at the airport we did all the procedures until we were waiting for the plane that was delayed for almost 2 hours, but everything went well.
When we arrived at Seville airport we had to wait about 7 hours for the bus that took us to the Plaza de Armas, where we took the Flixbus to Faro. Already in Faro, when we arrived, my father was already waiting for me and took me home right away.
My perspective about this project
The Job:
In this internship, I was in the company called Merkur Doninha which is a company of casinos, arcade, etc... and I was in the headquarters of the same, in the part of IT. During the internship I was given some hardware tasks, such as disassembling laptops, messing with some of the company's servers, creating users and banning ips from a blacklist... I really enjoyed being there, the staff was very friendly, they were always there. attentive if I need something, I really enjoyed working there.
