It can only get better

So, the past week I didn't really write anything because I was simply too tired to do so. It has slowed down since the beginning of my internship and I am really happy about that. 

Last week I was kind of depressed because I would always get the not so creative task and then I went on to think to myself that I'm just too bad at everything I do. I would always compare myself to the other two full-time interns but basically I can't really do the things they do because I only arrived 2 weeks ago. Actually I really wanted to just cry and thought how happy I would be when I get back home in three months. It is really hard without family or friends and it's even worse if you don't feel comfortable at work either. It was then when I realized that I'm really just a kid and that my mum's worries aren't for nothing. I could also sympathize with my dad who is in Switzerland at the moment.

 Thankfully this gloomy stage lies in the past now and I have to say that this week started off really well. I am still not doing the creative tasks but at least I feel like I am doing something for Stevens collection. I have been doing a lot of Photoshop and also calling people a lot to settle different things. Today was a day where I had to use the computer again but this only means that he trusts me with that. At least that's how I interpret it. (Wow, within one week I turned into a very positive thinker! )

I really think that I am learning a lot about the business in general. Before I always thought that he would work all alone but he does hire a lot of people and spends a lot of money to make the most of his ideas. There are also friends and family and of course interns who give a lot of input and inspiration. Well, that's my opinion though. What I mean is that it is very interesting to see how all this works. Keeping in contact with people and always be up to date with everything, being patient, answering questions, going to meetings... all of this seem to be part of being a new designer. I am very lucky that Steven is quite approachable and seems to be "normal". He isn't the least arrogant and always explains his plans carefully so that we can understand. 

Last Friday we had to stay until 11pm and although he treated us to yummy Korean food the only thing I wanted was to just go home and have a good long sleep. Hopefully, he will let us go earlier tomorrow. I need sleep. But it can only get better. Unfortunately, work next Saturday. Buhuuuuuu T_T

As a bonus a picture of where I live haha!
