Today heralded the start of my second week of interning at Blanchard Design. It was another nice day, with only a little rain, so I walked the 20 minute trip up. I'm not doing a whole lot of important things at the internship, but it's enough to keep me busy, and I know it must help the designers. For example - most of the time I'm answering phones, calling to check prices or availability of fabric, finding sample options, or sorting through the mail. It's not ideally what I'd like to be doing, but at least I know it's things that the designers would otherwise be finishing themselves (so I AM doing designer-things). And today, even though I was just writing new price tags for the furniture in the show room, I was also getting to know the Blanchard line of products - so now I can help customers who come in to shop! And I can't complain about making earning 15 pounds a week. Hopefully they'll let me start to be more involved in projects, however... because the thought of organizing fabric samples doesn't sound too appealing... =/
With two months to go, however, I'm hopeful!

What is the 2 month timeline?
There really isn't one. Though there are certain assignments (like journaling) that I need to complete each week for class, what my internship providers choose to have me do each week or each month is their discretion. And I don't think they really have a plan at this point...
