Day 2 - end of the day

After lunch the 3 of us began to feel like pests to the fashion desk. Second day in and I now know who sits where which is good because I can confidently hand out post and ask the apt person questions. I continued to do studio requests for images and now know how to fill out a studio request form. I also saw the editor of the magazine I'm dying to work at and I think I may approach her if I see her again - what do I have to loose? Following that I used the photocopier again and this time did it successfully. The beauty desk like to have a copy of every two pages they do weekly and they'd built a back log which I sorted through and presented for them. I also got to know the inside of the beauty cupboard quite well today - lots of samples were being sent in and needing filing. I also had to set up bags for 'tried and tested' which were products that were 'trending' or had a hype around them. It was exciting to see new products before anyone. I then cleaned the fashion cupboard again and made more space. And did some booking in alone which I found easy. We also learnt the location of the post room so that we could take down mail that needs to be sent. I've also collected some press releases and packs today for my portfolio, these will be useful for future research and who knows maybe work. Seeing as I am doing an internship in magazines and PR it will be useful to have pr packs sent from companies and then to see how they are out together at a later date. Today I have felt alot more positive I liked my outfit and the beginning of the day gave me a chance to be creative. I'm worried that I was sent home 20 minutes early but there really was nothing to do, I am trying to do things off my own back like getting post and filing beauty products but between the 3 of us we soon run out of things to do. The other intern is quite 'in' with the editorial team so we don't see her alot. I feel like the team are very cold and that I can't join in conversation or joke, luckily the other interns feel the same. I'm hoping this is just because its the 2nd day in. But all in all a much more positive day.
