Last Day at the SEC

Today was my last day at the SEC :(

Leave it to me to end the day crying.  I was fine up til I went to say bye to Mark :(

Thanks for an amazing summer everyone, I had great time interning with you all and hope you will all keep in touch!

NASDAQ

Today the interns and I went to the NASDAQ.  It was pretty cool and high tech!  We got to see the opening bell and received a presentation.  I had asked a question regarding supplements to the specialist aka real people that they have at the NYSE but clearly do not at the NASDAQ.  I got the best response ever...  "We have real humans working upstairs" LOL

Ringing the Opening Bell

1st Day at the SEC

Today was my first day working at the SEC.  We were in Orientation for most of the day - filling out paper work, being oriented and waiting to be sworn in.  Apparently I was different from the other interns in the sense that I was assigned with headquarters versus the NY Regional Office (NYRO).  I was oriented with 3 other interns - Katherine, Pat and Damian, all of which seem pretty cool.  I felt really old as I was the only college graduate there...

After waiting for a while I was finally sworn in by Bruce, my supervisor.   I am sitting on the 17th floor outside another supervisor, Ken's office. 

I also met Tristan, another intern in the Asset Management Unit.  He seems pretty cool so far, hes in a similar boat to me, in that he graduated this spring and will be starting law school in the fall.  Apparently he started 2 weeks ago and went to Brown.
