Hello hello!
It has certainly been a long time since I was last here... a few too many weeks for me to count. I must apologize for my very sudden absence from the site, but rest assured that I am here now!
Once school ended for the quarter, I thought life would slow down a little bit, but boy, was I wrong! In the midst of holiday/family madness, I was offered an internship position in NYC for a well known American teen clothing brand. Very exciting, but very scary. I'd only been to New York once or twice for very short periods of time, and I only had 2 weeks to move there for the job! I went into a tailspin trying to get my life organized, find housing, etc. I got up to New York about 4 days before I started my job, and found housing 2 days before I started.
After my job started, I once again assumed things would calm down. I mean, I'm working a 9-6 daily schedule. It should be easy to find time to post, right?! Wrong, apparently. Between my hour commute, trying to see and do as much in the city as possible, and being completely exhausted from work, the very little free time I had to myself was spent catching up on sleep.
I am 8 or 9 weeks into my internship, and I have 2 left once this week ends, which is absolutely nuts, because it's gone SO fast. I realized I needed to catch everyone up on what's been happening, and I also need to get into a good routine of posting before school begins again at the end of March!
So, bear with me as I catch up on all the other student blogs and see how this amazing site has grown! Stay tuned for posts about the end of the Fall school quarter, and the pictures of my final tailoring project that I promised so many times.
You should also stick around to hear about my INCREDIBLE day at New York Fashion Week (seriously...amazing...both Michael Kors and Tim Gunn had their arm around me...).
I'll also give you a little more detail about my internship job, what I've learned, and how I'm preparing for my summer internship.
Love always,
Elizabeth
