Mindlessness and Messages

My internship is not what I expected, yet I did not expect the internship to be what I expected, so in a sense it has what I expected. This makes absolute no sense, but this is my logic. The internship has been overwhelming in many ways, and sometimes I feel confused by the Cougar Club clique and the messages that are passed back and forth. However, I was also aware that this would be the setup of the internship, so this has not been a surprise.  
I have been especially surprised by the difficulty that I have had in trying to get into some sporting events and photograph. I would expect that people would be eager and willing to let me into events and photograph, but it has been difficult to position myself at some events. However, I have also been surprised by the amount of support, help, and instruction I have recieved from my supervisors in regards to these issues.  
Lastly, I have been consistently overwhelmed by the amount of data entry that I have been required to do as a part of the internship. Data entry is mindless, and I have discovered that it is certainly something I can not see myself doing in the future. I guess it is good that I am finding this out now.
However, I do not have control over much of this so I have surrendered to the madness. The data entry is a necessary evil. I enjoy the sporting events and photography, and I have learned how to better handle people to get into the events I need to.
