bedroom for a small workspace. I found it useful to separate my work environment from my recreational environment, as I always seem to be more productive when I am in the designated "work" room. Our core office hours for the internship were Mondays-Thursdays at 10-12, 2-4pm UK time. We then made up the rest of the 30 hours per week whenever it suited us the most. I enjoyed this flexibility: it allowed me to structure my week more easily and gave me more time for commitments that came up outside of the internship. Outside of work, I enjoyed going on walks around the coastal town in which I live and letting off steam by weightlifting regularly. I also cherished the interns-only Teams meetings we scheduled, as they added a social element to the internship that was otherwise lacking. Lasting Impressions One of the comments that all the interns made in our interviews was about the uncertainty of remote working. In all honesty, this was the least of my concerns during the 12-week internship with the CTL. I enjoyed remote working and the flexibility that came with it. The induction period was not overwhelming, and the tasks we were initially set were enjoyable and allowed us to use our creativity. For example, we were given an assignment to create an alternative dashboard and course webpage for Canvas: I used this as an opportunity to learn HTML/CSS and present a modern, responsive design. A few weeks into the internship, we were asked to produce ideas for projects that could benefit the CTL. We proposed ambitious projects that appealed to us but found that the workload required for these projects was high. I took part in this internship as I wanted to help make the student experience better for future years of remote learners, but the internship did not change my career ambitions - I am seeking a full-time role in a more mathematical field.
