I started work today!

I was very nervous last night, and this morning when I woke up. I wasn't sure if i was going to know all of the things i needed to know for my internship. It ended up going fabulous! Everyone in the company is SOO nice, and were nothing but helpful! I got a lot of hands on experience, that I feel will really prepare me for the real world!... it may have just been busy work, but I have to admit-- I kind of like busy work! I worked with the private label brand allocator today, and he showed me spreadsheets that had every items information (forecasted sales, actual sales, previous year sales, amount spent on the item, precentage markup.. the whole 9 yards) I was afraid I wouldn't understand what he was talking about, but I actually remembered those things from my buying class! After seeing those spreadsheets, I was a little more relieved. Then it was time for my first "assignment"... I had to make sure that everything that was supposed to be marked down was correct in the computer's system. After I finished that, I was actually able to put the numbers in to the computer's system! I was using a computer program on the first day, that most employees haven't even used in their first couple of months! It was so exciting! I finished my three projects a lot faster than they thought I would, so they passed me on to another team (the desinger label team) to help them meet their deadline. Everyone seemed to be impressed with my speed, and with how willing I was to do the job!... this is going to be a GREAT summer!
