My first week being an Intern
03:45 This is it! I have started on my career journey, Monday was
my first day as the ‘Western Europe Communications Intern’ at Nike Ltd.
The night before was spent watching motivational videos on
TED.com and relaxing in a candle lit bath reading a brilliant book I was lent
be my wonderful friend called ‘How to be Parisian’, or I was relaxing before I
dropped my phone and got the book wet (Sorry Hannah)… amazingly the phone
worked fine but I put the hair drier on it just to be sure.
Commuting takes me about an hour and a half, and I never get
a seat on the train, which is fine in the morning but on the way home I get
tempted to just seat myself on the floor.
To save money I make the journey from Marylebone to the office on foot,
which takes about half an hour but it’s better than being on the crowded tube
and its good for me, although my poor legs and blisters disagree.
WARNING, Never where new shoes on your first day! They were
so harsh I went through a pack of 5 blister plasters! Or maybe the pumps from
New Look are made from steel, I don’t know.
I have only been with them for a few days and this is a
quiet time of year for the team but they are all so lovely and are making me
feel really as ease. The whole look and feel of the office is every sleek and
modern, which is brilliant to work in. I am sort of glad that it is quiet at
the moment as it gives me time to learn the ropes before it all goes apparently
mad in September.
As for Office wear, I kept an eye out on my interview day
what people wear wearing as the contract said ‘Smart-Casual’ which everyone
hates as it is ridiculously vague. Below should be some pictures of my outfits with
week.
Its been ready murky weather in London recently, which is
not fun for my walking commute but it means I’m not missing out on any sun
while I’m in the office! See there is literally a Brightside to everything! As
the song from Monty Python says “If life seams jolly rotten, there’s something
you’ve forgotten”. I totally believe this and I’m planning on doing a whole
over blog on my favourite positive motivational people and sayings etc.
I feel like I’m off to a great start here and can’t wait for
the exciting things to come!
