As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, my internship is built around two main projects. The first is looser and research-based: I’m testing out a theory for an internal AI system the company might use. The second is far more structured and code-heavy — a project broken into tickets, where I complete one element at a…

Less Guessing
After a wild first couple of weeks, this one in Prague was a much needed break. No travel, last-minute trips, or sleep-deprived days walking through a European city. Rather a steady rhythm of waking up, going to the office, and acting like a regular person that lives here. A quiet, but still productive week was…
From Prague to Budapest and Back Again
I’m starting off this work week tired, but happy from travel. I was able to spend almost a full three days in Budapest this weekend, which I thought was a super cool and exciting city. With the insane architecture of the Buda Castle and lavish Parliament building, fun cruise on the Danube River, delicious goulash…
Prague Doesn’t Wait
Vienna was not on my radar when I booked my flight to Prague, but that’s the best part about being in Central Europe. You’re only a few hours from places you’ve only seen in books or online. I took the train over the weekend with some peers and spent two days walking through the city….
Navigating Uncertainty
So far, I have really enjoyed my internship experience. It has given me the opportunity to apply what I have learned in the classroom to a professional environment, develop new skills, and gain a better understanding of how organizations operate. However, like any new experience, there have been both positive moments and challenges. One of…
Filling in the Blanks
Before I started at Provencelia, I had this picture in my head of how internship work would go. Someone hands you a task, explains exactly what they need, and you go do it. Now that I’ve wrapped up my second week, I’ve learned that work in practice almost never shows up that cleanly. Most of…
The Routine That Got Me to Budapest
After the week of orientation and having a set plan from an external source fade away, suddenly everything got more real. The train system wasn’t confusing, I started using Google Maps less to get to and from my apartment, and the city just started to make sense. A similar thing can be said for my…
Finding My Rhythm
One of the biggest lessons I have learned during my internship so far is the importance of managing my time effectively. Moving to Prague and starting an internship at the same time has been an exciting experience, but it has also required me to be intentional about how I structure my days. Between my responsibilities…
A Productive Week to an Impulsive Weekend
Wow, week two was absolutely amazing. The beginning of the week threw me in at the deep end in the best possible way — not with time management, but rather survival mode. Lucent Renewables operates in a world I had essentially zero background in before walking through the door on Monday. Renewable energy sounds straightforward…
