Last Day of Apprenticing

So today was the last day of apprenticing. The whole week was kinda fun, kinda tiring, kinda I don't know how to feel about it. 

So for 4/5 days of the week my sister and I(Jawaad only did this for one day and then he and the other apprentice Raehdojhn did marketing) looked up companies associated with bridal things and we looked them up, found their email address and wrote it down on an excel sheet. Then we entered these companies' emails to receive the Charlotte Seen newsletter to be notified of any future events in Charlotte. It was quite tedious work as a good deal of them didn't have an email address to contact them at. Or they had you write in to contact them and some had you put in a whole bunch of info just to write in. Companies if you ever come across this blog listen: you should put your email on your site in a visible place, it saves trouble for some people such as, I don't know, my sister and myself. 

The 5th day, today, Rita said we were to be doing something different. "Different" just meant we'd be entering emails from business cards she has. It was okay though because that went fast and then she had to find something else for us to do and that something else was sort the models by male, female, child and then further sort them by race. That was pretty nice. 

So, as a parting gift as this was our last day, Rita got me and Laila The Body Shop sample baggies and Jawaad got some sunglasses and Raehdojhn got a hat. She's so nice. :) 

However, this might actually not be our last day. My mother said that maybe, if we wanted to(not sure I do), we could go there the week after next and help out some more. So yeah, it might not be Bye-Bye to Rita just yet. 

Anyways, I'm signing off, gotta go pray Isha, Taraweeh, and Witr, so annyeong, sayonara, au revoir, adiós, salaams, bye!

P.S. Here are some pics of the (possible) last day of apprenticing plus the gift Rita gave us: 

Apprenticeship Day 1

So today was the very first day if the apprenticeship.

First we started getting ready to go at 9 but since we hadn't pre-planned our outfits it took us an hour to get everything together and get out the house. 

Next we drove downtown to the Miles Interior Design Studio. Then we stood around kinda awkwardly as Rita Miles introduced us to her workers and got us situated on what we were supposed to do.  

Then for the next 4 hours, we did our apprenticing job which I must say was dead boring. Our tasks were to go through a book that listed information on certain bridal shops and find our their email addresses and log the Name, Email, Phone, and Website in Microsoft Excel. Then we had to sign their email up to receive the Charlotte Seen newsletter(I'm not sure but this seems borderline illegal to me). So Jawaad did the looking up, I did the filling in info to Microsoft Excel, and Laila did the newsletter signing up. After a while it got so boring and tiring that we were like: "As soon as we finish 50, we're taking a break!" 

Luckily, when we'd finished 50, we called our mother and she was on her way back to come get us. So she came, we headed back and fell asleep on the way home. Then when we got home we all took some sort of rest(mine was just to curl up in the fetal position and read City of Glass). 

So yeah, that was it. The first day of our apprenticeship. My mother wants us to pre-plan our outfits this time but it's so hard! 

Anyway, signing off for now, bye!!!
