So this week was my first week at my internship. Monday we had a quick meeting to go over everything. The owners seems awesome; they were relatively young especially considering they had their own business but I feel like that will be in my favor! They seem really open to hearing our ideas and giving us responsibility to do things on our own. After our meeting I roamed around the city, walking about 30 blocks to get to the D & D Building, AKA an interior designers haven. What a cool building!! The exterior wasn't much to look at but as soon as you got to the front doors, you could tell it was the home for interior designers with all of the amzing details. I went to ask about job openings but it wasn't quite that simple to just get a list of openings so I left my resume. Hopefully going there for my internship will lead to connections and work opportunities! Wednesday and Friday I became a social media expert. Already on day 2 my boss thought my proposed ideas were great and told me to run with it...sweet!! I created a webpage on a design website called Houzz which has thousands of images of different companies projects for design inspiration and company promotion. I also came up with an idea for a new blog which will be about New York architecture...be sure to check it out next week! I also wrote up a blog about a local museum in the lower east side and by connecting it to other social media sites, my blog got noticed on Twitter and reposted by a large promoter of things to do in New York...a big deal when you're trying to expand your company!! So glad my first experience with Twitter was uber successful. Totally thought I'd do it wrong....yes, I had to ask my little sis about Twitter and what it was really about. Boy, does that make me feel old and not "with" the times. Hahaha
Saturday I met some new friends thanks to a friend from Orlando. I had my first New York brunch with these ladies and brunch turned into hoping all around Chelsea. This might sound super lame, but I felt like I was on an episode of Sex and the City hahaha. So nice to meet a great group of girls so soon!! At one of our stops we were talking to a group of guys and OF COURSE they are Florida Gator fans...seriously?!?! I'm in New York!!!! I had a real interesting experience on the subway and bus that day too...1 train trip included some "hood" type of boys who must have been no older than 13 ATTEMPTING to rap and break dance on the subway. That ended very quickly when a boy struggled to do a back bend and walk over. I also was there for a woman who made a speech about how she needed help for money or food to help her family. Ooooh boy, only in New York! I also was super smart and got on the bus going in the opposite direction when I was heading home. Yup, I'm a genius!! I guess you live and you learn.
