A Typical Day

There is no exact pattern that takes place at my internship in the office of Congressman Ruben Gallego. I arrive at the office at 9:00AM. I read news articles that have the opinions of the Congressman Ruben Gallego has on issues that are taking place in Arizona, D.C. and across the nation. Once I have read all of the latest news, I either start to complete any task that I did not finish the day before or see what I can work on. For example lately I have been working on a research project about the Loop 202 South Mountain, so after reading the news I begin to work on that.


Throughout the day I switch off with the staff assistant, Hanna, while she runs errands or goes to lunch. I will usually answer phone calls and take messages for different staff members. Some days I am assigned data entire tasks, which include inputting business cards or contact information from events. There are other days I make copies and scan faxes/ letter we received. At about 2PM-3PM I go to retrieved the mail, if we do have any mail it is all open and stamped with the date received. After that I continue to work of any task, I was working on. Depending on the day I leave the office at 4:30PM-5:30PM.

  1. Hey Lizbeth,
    This internship sounds very interesting because you have to read other peoples opinion about him. I bet you get a lot of mixed opinions about him. When you read them, do you have to let him know what the negatives ones are?
