Zenia The Intern: Who Said This Would Be Easy PT.2
The morning of Brian and Jill’s first day away, I woke up at 6 A.M. I took a deep breath, prayed everything would go smoothly and ate a king size chocolate bar. For the entire 10 days they were gone to New York and L.A., I could only think of words followed by statements or questions to describe my emotions, while I conquered everything on my “To Do List.”
My first task was to manage the interns. About 10 garments needed buttons sewed on them and put into a box with other pieces to be taken to UPS by 6 P.M.
So maybe I should have planned a little better because by 5:45pm, I literally had sweat running down my face as Stephina and I were running to UPS with boxes bigger than us and looking a little crazy. Not to mention the 90 degree weather that day.
After the UPS fiasco, I started working on a cut for Jill. I was told by Jill they were in such a hurry to catch their flight the night before that they could not finish cutting out all of the pieces to a style that needed to be sewn and ready by the time they got back to SF for delivery.

I knew that I had the following 2 days to complete it but with class the next morning and work the following day, I had to do it that night. When I finally finished, I realized it was 3 A.M. but thanks to a large cup of coffee I was still able to complete my homework in time for my 8:30 A.M. class.
The rest of the week went smoother and a huge amount was done between myself and the interns.
The day of Jill’s arrival, I went to the studio to answer any questions she might have. I walked through the door and her first words were, “You are amazing!”
