April was the last month of my work term, and it mainly dealt with creating procedures on the tasks I was doing, so it could carry on with the next student that would do the same job as me.
The hardest part is remembering everything you do and then creating an easy procedure that can be read and executed by someone who's never had exposure to software such as SAP and Intelex.

March
March was an interesting month, because for once I was scrambling to find work,
which I eventually did, I mostly did cost reporting, but that doesn't take too long. At max 1-2 days, to present the costs for the previous months on a specific project.
People started going on vacations, supervisors, managers, you barely saw people from week to week, so you had to come up with your own work, and figure out how to be independent.

February
Change of Supervisor or Manager:
The thing was I had a very good supervisor, which was giving me a lot of work, which kept me busy, and I was thankful for, but when she switched departments, I was left with little work.
The change of Supervisor or Manager, is a strange transition, because your used to this person, and you created a bond between each other, so when that's gone, especially nearing the end of your term, its difficult to deal with.

January
January is the start of a new year, where everyone is happy, and at the same time, even more busy than usual, because they have to report and compile the last year's data, for the annual Management Review meeting.
The organizational feel, during this time, is very solitary, where people want to be left alone, to focus on their own projects.
The Management Review - which I took a part in was very useful, and it basically showed to different parts of the organization where everyone stands.

December
December gets really busy, because you have about 2-3 weeks to do as much as you can and then comes in Christmas break.
Basically if you don't want the work to compile and carry on to next year, you want to finish a lot of what's left in this time frame, because later on you will have the previous work load, plus all the new work load of the new year.
Very critical time, where you can actually feel the tension in the air. Best way to go about it, is to do your work consistently everyday, and avoid carrying over work to the next week, month, year.

November
As usual the end of the year gets really busy, and your either organized and ready for it, or the stress will accumulate and intensify.
Quality System (ISO 14001 and 9001) :
I was helping out the quality assistant in updating the MSDS sheets, and also, compiling some data, for the year end reports.
Cost Reporting:
I was also in charge of keeping track of the costs of several projects using ASAP, updating them every month. Attention to detail is a big component of this task because you have to present your work in a way that's easily understandable.
