It's coming to an end!

DAY 56

Tuesday was such a busy day at the office, which I guess is a good thing, since I was never bored. Erika came back from London, which was a breath of fresh air. She was assigning me tasks again and being really helpful about whatever I was doing.

I started the morning off by working on the intranet photo site. I just corrected the store names and made sure that everything was in the right district and region. This was very meticulous and took up the majority of the day, but it felt really good to be done with everything. I felt good about sending this off to others in the company.

Later in the day, I worked on separating and organizing giant fabric tags for the bedding concepts in the store. There needed to be 140, but one of the tags ran out, and I only had 101. So I would have to continue next time. It was very easy, I had done this before with different bedding concepts. It was repetitive but it was good because it was in the afternoon, which made everything seem more quiet and peaceful. I knew what I was doing and I was doing it well.

I finished off the day by looking at more inspiration photos for the fall concepts.

DAY 57

Hello Wednesday.

Okay, so remember the huge photo archiving mission I have been doing basically my entire time at the internship, the one I FINALLY finished last week? Well this morning I received about 47 more emails from Erika to store away. Ugh. I didn't mind it before, but it was kind of bothersome today when I thought I was actually done. But I found a new strategy that made it go by a lot quicker, and there were a lot of new images that I had not seen before which made it a little bit better. I did that on and off throughout the day. By the end of the day I only had 17 left, so I did 30 today, which is pretty good!

Today I sent my pictures to Tami for the fall inspiration. I was kind of nervous to see what she would say because I didn't want to be too off concept and it was really hard to find some pictures for one of them. But thankfully she liked them. She told me that I was really on track and I did a great job, but that she doesn't usually use apparel pictures in her home concepts, but they were pretty good so she would forward them on to Erin, who deals more with apparel. It sounds stupid to be excited about that one little tiny thing, but it felt like I was finally doing level work. Then she actually gave me two more concepts I could work on for her, which was pretty cool because I felt like I did the first job well enough that she trusted me with this.

I went out to lunch today with the girls and it was really nice, they treated me and it was fun to hang out with all of them in a more relaxed environment (AND it was so delicious). I am actually going to miss everyone. Hopefully I will be back for another internship and possibly a job.

Later in the day I finished working on the bed tags and eventually the day came to a close.

It is weird to think that this is actually one of my last weeks here. I don't think of it that way because my parents live here but after this week I am going to Ohio, then I will spend one night back here, and then after that one day I am heading up to New York til May!! Craziness.
