First Day of Real Life!

Today was great! Went to my internship at 9:30 with Elizabeth, and met the other new intern, Kate, who is British. The whole office (10 of us) are girls in their 20s. We spent the first two hours going through magazines and newspapers looking for any references to Stella, her family, her brands, etc. These we have to tag, scan, and crop to be archived. All day we send and receive packages to various magazines and celebrities (Elle, Vogue from every city imaginable, etc.) There's a huge board with pictures of all of the collections on it, and we have to sort the clothes accordingly. Eventually, we're going to help sort out the archive room, and possibly pull clothes for photo shoots and polaroid the looks as well. Exciting stuff! Definitely a look into an entirely new world. Our boss, Imogen, is headed to Paris tomorrow to meet our boss boss, Marina for the autumn trunk show.

We left work at 1:30 to head to class at 3, International Human Resources Management. It was actually pretty interesting, helped by the fact that there are 14 IU students in it because it counts as a class we have to take at home that everyone hates. Only have to buy one book! Course packets and stuff are free, but then, we're paying out the wazoo to go there so I guess a few measly pieces of paper is the least they can do huh?

Just returned, and am going to get some reading done before I meet one of my best friends from home, Andrea for a drink when she gets out of class.
