4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

Toward the second half of the internship, I was involved in projects comprehensively, which meant I had work streams which lasted a few days. This meant that I was very busy, but could plan my time. Initially, I was given many arbitrary tasks to support the analysts in their day-to-day. This difference is typical given staffing periods.
