Week 2 at CoCo Designs

This week, I got to look at pictures on the computer and compile lists of them. If this was on paper this would be called “collaging,” but since it’s not and the internet loves to be unique it’s called “Pintrest,” “Tumblr,” or “work.” A client wanted a less expensive version of a chair, so I spent a solid two hours trying to find similar models that wouldn’t break their budget. Furniture websites are pretty, so I got sidetracked a couple times during this task.

Week 2: Swing down, sweet chariot, stop, and let me GLIDE

I had a very busy second week working with GLIDER. Between juggling the two projects I've had to work on that I described in my last blog post, Eli was in and out meeting with investors, on the phone with potential business clients, etc. (he even added over two more hours to his work day.) Meanwhile, Justin and Cameron are as busy as I've ever seen them. So I'm glad to be of any sort of help, and I'm learning a lot observing Eli managing this company.

Tumors tumors tumors!

So it's been a super interesting week up on the hill with some crazy cases. My favorite so far is a man with a brain tumor. They think his tumor started growing around last November but he waited to come into the hospital until about a month ago. Sima showed me the scan of his brain and it’s enormous! It’s growing in his scull, and then it goes through the skull and grows outside.

Tea 4 Life

Time is flying at Tea Chai Té! I was offered a summer job working at the Sellwood shop and I am so excited!

Week 2

 I apologize for the tardiness of this post; it has been a crazy week.

 
Monday, we started off the week with a fieldtrip to the Hoyt Arboretum. We went on what they call “a ladybug walk” where all of the children are given ladybug shaped backpacks called “discovery packs.” We did not see many ladybugs but the kids did stop and admire every banana slug on the trail. Fascinated, they pet the banana slugs and remarked how “cute” they were. We returned to the International School for pizza.
 

Physical Element - Week Two

  This week I helped with the same types of things I helped with last week, but I have a much more solid idea of what makes Jo’s business successful. There are three things that are essential to her success as a proprietor.

- Location
- Customers
- Clothing
- Media
- Marketing
- Atmosphere of store

Week 2: Lots of Editing and Learning After Effects

My second week at Visual Aid Inc. was good, although very different from my first week. The main difference was that James and Joelle were in Las Vegas from Wednesday through Friday, so I spent those three days working with Ben and Susan instead. Their absence made the office much quieter, and possibly even more laid back than usual. However, it was still a productive environment for everyone, and James sent me emails keeping me up to date on my current duties.
