Another day in graphic design. The weather keep forcing me to wait for short periods of time because I get the best pictures outside. I had to settle for inside a building but the pictures still came out great. Like I said before this is really time consuming and before I know it, it's time to go. So glad only one more week is left of this. The experience is great and ESS would look great on my resume in the skateboarding industry. I'll be taken more pictures of new products that come in tomorrow, I wonder what they could be.

Spent the whole day in graphic design. I took many pictures of the products and helped a little bit with resizing and cropping to fit the website. It was fun to actually chill for the day and stay cool. Time really does fly by so fast here in graphic design, before I knew it it was time to go. We always get new products in everyday, it also helps that there is always something new to find or to wait for it to be put on the floor. I can really learn to like it here, too bad it has to end.

Same thing as yesterday except I finished up a little early with grahpic design. Since I did that I was able to complete two orders of stickering. If I didn't memorize some of the codes or know what the products are it would of taken me a lot longer than usual. Well until Monday

Once again nothing new to report. I began my day taking pictures for graphic design and finished up in the on the line in the warehouse. Like I always do but I get to sticker place stickers on certain orders for their inventory. It's getting to the point where I don't even look at the paper and look straight at the sticker to read what the product is. I find myself starting to memorize what the codes are and where everything is located in the warehouse.

Nothing new to report. First half was with graphic design and the second half was in the warehoue. I'm countin down the days until I'm done. The drives are taking its toll on me. I'm finding myself getting less and less sleep but not that much more. I just hope my body can endure it just a little longer.

I had to start a little late with taking pictures because of the weather. I got to pull a lot of products to take pictures of them and by that time the ground had dried up so I could take pictures of them. I got a load of pictures and products taken. I spent almost all day with them but I finished up around 3 and spent the rest of the day stickering another order. It was a bunch longboards which really didn't take long, well thats because I couldn't see the time and I finished up and helped on the line and actually finished on time.

Got to take some more pictures of new products. We actually get a lot of new products in everyday. However they may not actually be on the floor for awhile. Some products haven't been through the receiving people yet so I can't take the picture of it. I do get to actually see and touch the product before almost anybody so it all works out, I enjoy it. Did what I did yesterday and actually finished up a little early with the graphic design so I went back into the warehouse to do a sticker. It took me the entire time I was there to actually complete it but I finished it and actually boxed it up. After that I helped the line clear up and load up the UPS truck which came a lot later than usual.

Today I got to work with graphic design. I really didn't know what to expect or what I would be doing. What I'm doing is helping them update on the website. I go out into the warehouse and actuall pull the product and take pictures of the new products we get it and the design people will crop them and place them onto the website. I have to take the pictures and let them look at it to see if the lighting and angle is ok. A lot of the bigger products must be pictured outside in the shade to make a good picture. Little things like trucks or hats will be shot in this room upstairs. Once I get a great picture of the product I have to upload them and rename them of what the product is. Once that is done I take the products back and restock them. I do that for about half the day, then I return to the warehouse and help out the rest of the day.

Today was my last day in the warehouse. I still have no clue what I will be doing with the graphic design part of this internship. Only time will tell. Well nothing new to report. Started off my day lookin for empty boxes throughout the entire warehouse. We were trying to make one more pallet of crushed boxes but only got half way. After that I spent the entire time folding boxes and putting the packages into the truck.

Today I had to finish up the store's inventory. It took me until 3 or 4 o'clock to completely finish the order. I just remember folding boxes until the line started to get out of hand again. I believe that was the last hour. The UPS guy didn't show up on time and I had to leave to get my hotel for the night. I waited as long as possible but I had to go. I really hated that I left but I needed to get my room. Next time I'm going to reserve my room the day before, just in case this happens again. Also I find out that I will be doing graphic design starting next week. I have no clue what exactly what I will be doing but I'm ready for it.

I started off my day helping on the line. Not long after that I was given the task of putting stickers on the products for a skate shop again. This order was huge, I spent the whole day working on this and I'm not even half way done. I have to do decks, trucks, wheels, tools, risers, and completes. Decks and trucks were the special ones because they were the ones that had to be boxed up. I managed to complete all the decks and box them up. I got through only half the trucks before the line started get out of hand. The packages were building up, so I helped finish up the line and load the truck up.

It feels really good to only drive 5 minutes rather than 2 hours to go Wilmington. I wasn't exhauted at all, all day. Anyway once I got there I folded a little more extra boxes until I was given a task by the shipping manager. It was the same deal with the other shop order by putting on those labels on the products. This time it was just shop decks. It really was a timely project. I spent almost the entire time I was there to finish. There were 200 decks total so you can see why it took awhile. However once I was done I folded boxes until it time for my commute back so I can go to work and still make some money. Before I left though I spoke to the my site supervisor about possibly doing something else for my project. She was going to look into it when Mr. Reggie Barnes overheard our conversation. First he told me how great of a hardworker I was and how I put some of the people there to shame. He even told me to keep them updated when I finish college because he would love to keep and even said no matter what I do I will excel in it. He even invited me to help with the surf expo which is a 3 day event where all the vendors gather and meet one another. Also it a great chance for us to meet new vendors and possible do business with them. It will be in Orlando and I'm going to try do this as my internship project. This will be a great experience, plus I'll be in Orlando
