Hiya! So I’ll make mention about two things because it’s all I can
remember at the moment.
-My
boss Julie gave me and Jacleen, another intern who I love, a pretty amazing
assignment that would make a lot of girls swoon. For the month of September the
Providence Monthly does a StyleWeek photo shoot. This upcoming issue, Miss
Rhode Island is modeling the clothes, which come from boutiques and stores all
over Rhode Island. Julie gave me and Jacleen the assignment to basically travel
all over Rhode Island for two days and go shopping for the photo shoot –
essentially we were stylists. They’d pay for gas and lunch so it was a no
brainer. So last week me and Jacleen set off on our adventure. It was AWESOME.
Not going to lie, we bought a few things for ourselves. I’m not saying I’m into
fashion or anything, but it was seriously fun. Interns have never been allowed
to do this, so it was really a super opportunity.
-Okay,
the other thing isn’t exciting. I feel like I haven’t complained about
anything, but now I can. One of my articles I wrote had a tiny mistake in it,
though (I’m sure many of you would feel the say) it might as well have been a
big rainbow-colored sign jumping up and down. I was annoyed more so by the fact
that I REMEMBERED fixing it and this stuff should get read like a million times
before it goes to press. BAH! Luckily,
this is an article that goes into more than one magazine, and the other
magazine isn’t published yet, so we were able to correct the mistake for that.
Those are the two biggies that have
recently happened. Shazaam!Hiya!
Now I feel like I didn't have the correct internship experience because I didn't get to shop for work. It is seriously awesome that you were trusted with such a huge responsibility. It says a lot about the work you are producing, so a little reward for yourself in the form of clothing is only right, I think!
ReplyDeleteI HATE with a fiery passion seeing mistakes that not only snuck by me, but a bunch of other people, too. But from not having read the piece you wrote, I'm going to guess it wasn't a huge error that affected understanding of the piece, if only because it did sneak by so many others, so I guess take comfort in that.
Sarah you can rest assured that we all understood immediately why you were peeved about the mistake. But sometimes, no matter how many times we edit, we miss the little things...and let the fact of the big thing be that your writing is out there and you still get to be reminded that you are human.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on the shopping excursion opportunity.
What's next?
Next week I will unfortunately be out next week because of a family member passing, so at the moment things are on hold. However, I'm hoping to get a few more writing assignments in before the internship ends on August 14. We'll see.
