haha just kidding, not yet...
i always fall behind in my blogging! time to play catch up.
I guess the most logical place to start is where i left off which, i believe was with last sunday haha.
spent sunday morning at the beach, which is ten min. away, no big deal :) I had brunch on the pier overlooking the ocean. (what was for breakfast you ask? a CRAB meat omelet, there is nothing better than the over abundance of seafood down here! and lots of delicious coffee of course)
Then .. dun dun dun... came the ice storm. no not snow, ice. yes, while all you new yorkers trecked to work in snow, i sat home having a snow day and a delay 2 consecutive days in a row while there was not a flake of snow to be seen in all of Charleston. they closed almost every bridge, which is significant being the the city of charleston is a freaking peninsula! got to love it. Atlanta got hit hard and they have had 5 SNOW DAYS IN A ROW. why? because the entire city has almost no plows haha.
So my work week started at noon on Tuesday and clearly has flown by! I am getting to know the other interns better which is comforting and makes me feel like actually have some friends down here. I may even be hanging out with them this weekend! yay for weekend plans sans being alone! :) I explored the area i work in a little today because there's so much there but I usually just cross the beautiful Ravenel Bridge at sunset back to downtown Charleston after work so I've never gotten to know the area. anyway, I found a Whole Foods and it was the highlight of my week. If i could ever afford a personal chef, I would want whoever makes the whole foods buffets YUM!
other than that, this week has been work, gym, reading, bed for the most part. ah the real person lifestyle... work has been going well and I definitely seem to be getting more and more comfortable there and with the tasks I am given. I have even been doing a lot of helping other interns! :) I really love all the people, everyone is so nice and it is a very cool thing to experience the inner working of a magazine (or 5) but i will never read one the same way again haha. I analyze everything now!
the most crucial thing i have learned thus far....the pen tool is your best friend. I clip images day in and day out and without my friend the pen tool, I would have much better vision but much less productivity! I spent 3 and a half hours today pen tooling a necklace to clippath/mask for the "Love It" accessories page of the magazine. no that was not a typo, THREE AND A HALF HOURS of eye bleeding, hand cramping, neck aching pen tooling. each and every crevice of the chain, charms, etc. good god was i proud when i was finished! and it looked damn sharp if i do say so myself! Today I also got to go through all the images from Tuesday nights event for Charleston Fashion Week, "Top Cocktail" competition and chose which ones we will use in the mag/on the web. number one factor in choosing? which ones the editor-in-chief looks best in.
tomorrow is friday already! I may be going over to one of the other intern's houses down town for her friends b-day festivities! I hope so because it would be GREAT to meet some people around here!
Hope all my other VC-ers are doing FAB! and I am going to upload some pics for YA'LL'S enjoyment! MEESH YOO ALLLL.
love from chuck,
