The real world has got nothing on me haha. Today was the first day of my internship with a fashion designer and I loved it! I was a little nervous about it from my experience last week when I went for my interview but today was much better and much less sketchy. The area is actually very quaint now that I've seen it and I'm pretty sure that I'm really close to where the Olympics will be next year. I have to ask to find out for sure though.
I didn't have to go in until 10:30 this morning because I didn't want to get there before her again. I actually got there a little late because it took me longer to get ready than I thought it would but she didn't care thankfully. When I got there she had me go run and pick up part of her spring/summer 2011 collection at a PR firm about 30 min away. I got to ride the double-decker bus and see more of London that I haven't seen before. It took me a little bit to find the firm because it was on like a tiny back street but I eventually found it haha. 2 of the girls that are on my trip actually work for that PR firm so I saw them when I picked up the clothing. It was really funny because I actually wondered if anyone on my trip was working for them. Once I got the clothes, I had to lug them back on the bus back to her studio...that was a feat. It was SO hot today and I chose to wear black jeans...dumb. I feel so disgusting from walking around and carrying the dresses everywhere but everyone else said that they had to run errands for their jobs too so I wasn't alone.
After I got back, I explored the area around her studio because she told me to get acquainted with the area. The problem was I was still carrying the clothes so the exploring didn't last too long haha. When I got back, I unloaded all the clothing, ate lunch, and began to help her with organization. That's pretty much what I did the rest of the afternoon and that was fine with me because I love to organize. She just moved studios so she still has a lot of organizing to do so we'll be doing a lot of that this week. I also did some research for her because I will be setting up an online shop for her. My computer ended up dying though so she let me leave early...score! We going to start inventory and organizing tomorrow so hopefully it'll be fun! I really like her a lot so I'm glad that they placed me where we did. It's definitely going to be a great experience so I'm excited. It will go by fast though because I'm only working there for 15 days...so weird.
Since I got off early, I got to explore a little around my flat and I found a Marks and Spencers that is close which made me so happy because that is going to be my go to grocery store. The weather is here SO hot and sticky though. It's supposed to cool down tomorrow and the rest of the week and I can't wait. Our flat is so hot because we don't have air conditioning and 2 small fans. It's getting a little bit better though and hopefully the cooler weather will make it liveable again. Hopefully work the next 2 days will go well. On Thursday, we have a lecture on the Olympics and a tour of the future Olympic site and then Friday we are going to Bath and Stonehenge. I'm excited for both so hopefully they will be fun too! Well off to fix dinner and relax after a long hot day. Cherrio!
