Where's My Internship?!

I've been in London for almost three weeks and of course I've been working at my Internship for majority of those three weeks, give a day or two.

I do have one hang-up

No it's not having to walk everywhere, or riding the tube(train) every morning, listening to the accents. It's none of those...

I felt like I haven't actually started my internship.
Don't get me wrong, going on daily trips with the students is a blast, but what was given to me about my internship I feel that I haven't done any thing related to it. Not to mention that I've only had two meeting with my supervisor and this past week she was in the United States.

Before my supervisor flew off to one of my homelands she updated my internship goals, which I am grateful for, when it comes to things like that it takes me a while to think of things like that.

But that was the last time I talked to her, and since then I've been somewhat of an assistant to the teachers, which is something that I didn't know I was going to be doing neither did the director, the person that arranged the internship.

I also need to mention that children are not my specialty...I detest children. What makes things difficult is the children knows little English so it's hard to make them listen to you, and with the teenagers it's more of a chaperone job than anything.

So I'm hoping that this week is different, according to my internship goals there are presentations that are supposed to happen by the various staff of my Internship, maybe then that's when I'll actually start my job??

Also I noticed structural problems...should I say anything? I feel like I'm not in the right position to say anything...sigh...issues.
