I worked in an office for three weeks and it was a very interesting experience. The office was farther than my school, so I had to get up earlier in order to catch the train. On the first day, I was very nervous but Luc, the secretary, helped me a lot. I learned how to use the photocopier, I filed documents and I also made coffee for visitors. I got along with everyone and I miss them already!
