Working Girl Day 2...success

Day 2 of work=success!  It's weird because half of me loves working and being independent but the other half just wants to stay in college and a kid forever.  I don't feel old enough to have a job but while riding on the Tube yesterday I realized that I am old enough to have a big girl job.  I'm a year and a half away from graduation...scary but exciting at the same time.  I love the feeling of independence that this job has given me but I have a feeling that I'm going to learn how tiring and exhausting the real world is well at least for 15 days anyway haha.

So today my boss showed up a little late which was fine because it made me feel better to know that everyone makes mistakes and are human.  Today was a great day though and we got a good amount done. I did research in the morning on what to call her online store because the name is so important.  The name of the store has to show her style esthetic, describe what she's selling, be memorable to customers, and be easily searchable on the internet.  You would never think that the smallest details down to the name would be important but they really are.  Everything in the fashion industry is about organization, attention to detail, and commitment to your work.  It's amazing how much work goes into being a designer because she basically has to be in charge of and do everything for herself since she doesn't have a ton of money to hire a bunch of people to help her.  I have so much more respect for fashion designers now even after working for one for only 2 days because they really have to go through so much to make it and unfortunately most don't.  We even talked about how hard it is today and it just gave me so much more respect for her.  I really really like this job and I'm seriously so glad I was placed here because it's going to give me once in a lifetime experience and it's definitely teaching me more about the fashion industry.

After lunch, I began to go through her inventory of accessories.  I counted, organized, and separated the different accessories that range from pins to bracelets to men's ties.  I had no idea that she even made half of this stuff and it was really cool to go through because it showed her amazing talent.  The designs are very detailed and lovely and there's no way I could make anything like she did haha.  Inventory basically took up the rest of my afternoon and I did some more research for her store as well.  She let me off early again because she had a meeting with her agent.  I've come to realize that if you ever need help falling asleep, just hope on the Tube because it has literally made me so tired after work the past 2 days.  I was smart today and wore my rainbows on my commute to work and my feet were very thankful haha.  I felt like a true Londoner.  2 of my roommates and I went on a run/walk in Regent's park after work and it felt so so good.  The weather was perfect for running because it rained today and was much cooler thank goodness.  The past couple nights have been brutal and I was definitely sweating last night while I was skyping in my room...so not fun.  The weather is supposed to be low 70s and high 60s the next week though so I'm very thankful because that's the kind of weather that I packed for.  Tomorrow is the last day of work this week and it's crazy because tomorrow we will have been here for 2 weeks.  It definitely doesn't feel like 2 weeks at all either...time is flying by and I know that when we start traveling this trip will be over before I know it which makes me really sad because I'm really enjoying it and then summer will be over too!  O well I'm just going to enjoy everyday as best as I can and not worry about it.  It's time to watch the Bachelorette though so cheerio for now!
