I officially completed my 600 hour internship on Tuesday, with just three days to spare until finals start. Nice timing finishing when I did - I really did not want to be working through finals week. Technically I completed the 600 hours last Friday, but I came back on Tuesday for a 'certificate of appreciation' to be presented (which is basically an official acknowledgment / confirmation that the person named did indeed successfully complete the 600 hour internship program), and then the director took me out to lunch. Yay me!

The internship provided a lot of worthwhile practical experience in auditing which should serve me well in the future, and as a bonus, my performance was at a high enough level that the director wrote a glowing personal reference along with the certificate of appreciation - something they do not usually do apparently (I believe it's usually limited to the certificate only). So.. onwards and upwards. Now I need to find another internship for the new year.
