Friends and Family

Worked the Friends and Family sale again today for NINE hours! It's exhausting watching other people spend thousands of dollars :) Also found out that since Stella is part of the Gucci conglomerate, we get invited to the sales for Alexander McQueen, Gucci, YSL, and a few others. Exciting! The best part about today was that we really got a chance to talk to the other interns and get to know them - they're all young girls, unpaid like us as well. All seem very nice and very willing to help us get acclimated. None of us can get over how unorganized our office is - nothing is on computer, all paper. It's ridiculous. We wish we could just take a few days and set everything up in Excel; we would literally save hours everyday that are spent just searching for invoices. Geez.

Also, met the head of operations for Stella, Fizel (probably spelled wrong, but pronounced
F-EYE-ZEL. He is absolutely hilarious, is a fitness instructor, and calls everyone dahhhling. He told us about some great restaurants and we all talked about what kind of men we like. He loves Germans :) He was great fun, told us about some awesome restaurants to go to on a budget, and we're going to make Skyline Chili next week in the kitchen at the office so he can try it! He's also never had deep dish pizza, so we'll have to find that somewhere. He in turn, is going to make us flapjacks, which apparently are like oat biscuits. Interesting. I wish Logan could mail me some Mother Bear's. Also, learned that here, a tank top is a "vest", a vest is a "waistcoat", and still can't bring myself to call a sweater a jumper.

Just finished dinner, and am getting ready to go out with the gang to celebrate surviving our first week of work and school! We're going to a place called Ghost Bar. Evan's internship is in music promotion, and he's getting us in for free, so that makes it all the more appealing. Still can't believe how much snow you guys are getting; I am SO jealous. It'll be really nice to have a whole day tomorrow to do laundry, go for a run, etc. I feel like such an old person complaining that I don't have time to go buy groceries!

More tomorrow! Love and miss you all so so so so much.
