What I liked
It offered me all sorts of different experiences in professional communications and showed me why we do certain things in my field.
What I wish was different
I wish that I could have attended more congressional hearings, and that I would have done less copy/menial work.
Advice
Even though it sucks and you might not like doing it, be sure to do whatever they ask you to. If they need copies, make them. If they need you to go across town to attend an event and represent the Church there, buck up and do it.
