First Day in the Design Department: Day 3

Today was my first day in the Kids Design Department. Me and the other kids design intern Katie got an office together in the design team area. From the time that we walked in there was already a list of classes and meetings to attend and tasks to be done. The day was full of a lot of multi-tasking and problem solving. We spent about half the day in classes teaching us Textiles 101 (which we were quizzed on at the end) and the IBML System (which is a database that a lot of large companies use). I think that this database should be taught in school so that it's not such a crash course to try to understand it in a matter of a few hours. The other half of the day was spent doing trend forecasting for Kids Fall 2012, organizing samples and attending a company wide meeting (5,000 employees) with the new CEO of Sears Holdings. For the trend forecasting I was responsible for boys fall 2012 and tomorrow we're presenting our results to the kids design team. deep breathe lol ..... I have never did so much work within a day before, but it didn't matter to me because I love it. :) I have learned more career relevant stuff in the past 3 days then I have in the 3 years that I've been in college. I love my school, but school can only teach you but so much.
