About half-way through the program, I’m thinking about my every day routine of being in the Eastern Market office; I’m sad I only get to be here for the summer. I’ve grown to really enjoy the company of everyone in my office, and later this week I’m going to go with Dorothy and Barbara to […]
On thursday, after a morning of hard rain, the roof suddenly started leaking at about 1 o’clock whilst my mentor, Emile, was out for a lunch meeting.
