the Real Meaning of Interning

Interning this past semester was an...interesting..experience...I will leave the name of the organization that I interned for unnamed...however I do have a couple of things to say..

1. Overall, I appreciate the experience that I gained from working there for a semester...
2.Would I do another semester of it? No. Definately not..
3. I liked the chance to work on my writing and design skills..working on press releases and creating things that were going to be mailed out to clients/donors was great
4. working on finishing up all the left over stuff that no one else had time to do was something that i could have done without..like folding things and handwriting letters...

I just don't understand...why do they think that just because you're interning you are automatically someone that has time to waste.. I mean the point of interning is to gain knowledge/experience of a certain field...at least I thought that's what it was...But hey, it's something to put on your resume, right?
