Let's do this...

Hello EVERYONE,
 Let me admit right away that this blogging thing is a little frightening...First of all, English is not my first language, so I will probably be making tons of mistakes that I will be trying correct as we walk along our spring semester. Second, all of it just feels that I am talking to my computer, even though some of you will be reading my posts (including professor).
 So let's get started - my name is Maryna, and I am an accountant/student. I work in a high end Italian jewelry company called Damiani and as an employee I have 50% discount (if someone interested :). But we not here to advertise, so I am moving on - I live in Brooklyn, love to exercise, take pictures, sew, swim, dance, sing and all that good stuff, but on the other hand I do not have enough time to engage in everything, so I try to do it when I can.
 I also can share with you about the moment when I realized that managerial path is inescapable for me. Not that it frightened me, it's just I've never thought of it till that moment. We have interns coming in every semester and person who had an experience sharing space and professional knowledge with someone new every 3 month knows that it is tiring and sometimes painful process. Last fall we had a group of people coming in from Italy and I had to figure our what they speak with their thick accents. Not that my speech abilities are perfectly fluent and correct, it's just I do not used to "Itanglish". So my company came up with this project that our interns have to complete and I was helping them to get accustomed with our accounting system. My boss asked me to come in for a little chat before we begin and told me - "You will be their [interns] manager and I believe in you". At that moment I felt every hair on my head. The idea of being in-charge scared the hell out of me. I was there only for 6 month and do not want to have this responsibility, I thought to myself. But no one gave me a choice. I totally realized that if something was to go wrong I was the one to blame, but if it goes right I really hoped that I was to be rewarded.
  Let me tell you - It is a challenging task to be a manager... That group of interns finished their 10 weeks curriculum requirement, but new group is coming this spring and I am really hoping that this class will help me to improve what I was given to do. In any case I will keep you posted on my progress.
