Classes started this week. I'm pretty excited about my classes. My teachers are awesome; they are working in the industry now. My studio teacher even went into detail about how to sneak into a fashion show. I'll have to try it during Fashion Week. :P My design teacher has an awesome Irish accent. I am continually imaging her wearing green and carrying around a bucket of gold. And occasionally a rainbow can be seen out of the window. Let's just hope we can all keep her happy or else she might send her Gremlin friends to get us.
Besides classes I had a bunch of interviews this week for internships. The first was for Von Vonni. Let's just say...okay. I got lost. I was five minutes late. But was it really my fault that they didn't answer the door when I knocked the first time? Or that i had to ask a stranger to help me? Perhaps I shouldn't have followed said stranger into a creepy looking room to another stranger. Probably not that smartest moment in my life, but it turned out okay.
Second was at Kleinfelds. Yes. the Say Yes to the Dress place. I got there early and had to wait. And while waiting I saw a group of people getting mics and getting filmed walking in and out of the store. And I saw Randy. He wandered in with three people following him, wanting a picture, and then it turned into a circus. At least 20 people crowded around him waiting to take a picture with him while the camera crews tried to film the group that was walking in and out of the front doors. Then, once that was over, ten of those people stayed and stood right outside of the sales area blocking anyone who wanted to go in or out. The receptionist wasn't too happy about it, but they clapped for the girls that were trying on dresses. It was cute.
The best part happened on my walk there. I was just walking along, minding my own business and I see the strangest thing. A man is walking. With a small green bird on his shoulder. Just sitting there. And then, when he saw me looking, he reached up and pet the bird, and then continued walking as if nothing had happened. Only in New York.
My last interview was with
I found my way there and went up tot he 21st floor. Yes. 21. It was beautiful inside. The displays looked perfect, the music made me happy, and the view wasn't that bad either. Welp, jumping to the end, I got the internship! Yay! And I started today! The day after my interview!
That is the building that I get to work in. On the 21st floor. I work on a floor that's higher than anything in Wooster. My first job was running to Staples to get a camera battery charger. And. I got lost for a minute or two. But I figured it out and didn't get fired on the first day! After doing super awesome intern duties all day long, and getting to look out of the window at the amazing view, I'm finally done. I survived my first day of being an intern at Magaschoni. I hope tomorrow goes just as well.
That's all you get for today. Since I had to work today I didn't get to do homework. Oops. Time to get on that.
Ciao,
Kim.
