SELF-EVALUATION OF WEEK’S PERFORMANCE OF INTERNSHIP:
I am slowly becoming more comfortable at Vera Wang and
growing more confident in my skills that I have learned and developed over the
past four years in college. I am slowly
trusting in myself in order to take on more sewing/production projects. After creating a fabric sample, Margo (a
member of the design team) told me that it looked good and I could go ahead
with using the fabric used in the new collection to create the sample that Vera
would use as an example in her design process room.
I was so excited to have created a project that Vera Wang could see and possibly use as a technique in her new collection.
The other intern at Vera Wang, Lisbeth, had her last week
this week. She had been interning since
the beginning of June and it was very sad to see her go. She helped me so much by teaching me how
everything works and is organized. She
was a huge blessing to me. She was so
sweet and welcoming and I will definitely miss her. I hope that I can now take what she has
taught me and use that new knowledge to teach the new interns. This week our new intern started on
Wednesday. Her name is Sarah and I hope
that I can be as much help to her, as Lisbeth was to me.
I am struggling with the long days and staying motivated throughout the week to put in 110%.
I am
learning what I need to do in order to keep my spirits up throughout the
week. I know that getting to work early
and walking through the park in the morning helps me to start my day off in a
good mood and also having a piece of dark chocolate is a nice little
reward/treat to come home to. Escaping the
city and going to Prospect Park last weekend and going to Rockaway Beach this
weekend were both really relaxing and helped me to get rejuvenated. They also didn’t cost very much money because
I have the unlimited metro card for this month and my roommates and I just took
the subway.
WEEKEND GET-AWAY
This weekend my two roommates (Taylor and Verretta) and I took the A train to Rockaway Beach. It was so fun to layout, soak up the sun and hunt for some cute shells. We even got to see three dolfins swimming by! It was such a cool experience.
Over all this week was an amazing learning experience and I am becoming much more familiar with my duties at work as well as becoming more familiar with my new, "New York lifestyle".
Love Always,
Sydni Norie
