Today was day one of practically 90 as an Interior Design Intern at KGD Architecture in Rosslyn, VA. The Metro commute was only 25 minutes, and a piece of cake, besides the fact that we were all packed onto the train like canned sardines at the Pentagon City stop! I arrived 30 minutes early - almost too early - but got there early nonetheless. I met the other interns, Ningning and Chad (one of which I already met prior to today), and filled out a bunch of paperwork for a while. We got our desks figured out, introduced ourselves to a few people, and got a complete tour/information session by the receptionist, Rachel, and marketing woman, Kate. Us interns were invited and treated to a really nice pizza lunch up the street from KGD, and after we ate, I helped Jill prepare for her 5pm presentation of materials and furniture choices to a group of people.
My own desk!!
The meeting lasted an hour an a half, so I was a bit late getting out of the office. (Fortunately, though, Mom waited for me to eat dinner, and we headed right to Five Guys! Yummm!)
Unfortunately, I can't say much about the work that is being done in the firm, because I signed a form saying most things are confidential. The website is http://www.kgdarchitecture.com/flash/ if you'd like to see their previous projects, though!
So far, I am loving working at KGD! I know, I know...it's only my first day, but I feel like I fit in! Drinks are provided to us if we like, office supplies were waiting for us at our desks, and better than all else: everyone was super nice and welcoming!!! Can't wait til tomorrow! In the meantime, Mom and I are going to watch House and the Bachelorette...a few of the shows I get amongst the four channels on my TV!
Before I sign off, check out these two pictures! One is of Lilly, Grayson, and Evie (cracks me up!!), and one is a great one I wanted to share of Anthony and I!
