Change in Internships

I learned on Wednesday this week that I would no longer be attending my internship at Anna Ro, World Men's Fashions. CAPA had called Adam Worling to see if they could take me the fourth day, and since they have already expressed both to CAPA and myself their love of me, they agreed to it!

I talked to CAPA this week to find out with had happened with Anna Ro, but either they hadn't really figured out why, or weren't willing to share that information with me. All I've been told is that Anna Ro called to say that she didn't want to do it anymore and had nothing left to teach me. Here are my thoughts on this:

- Initially, I am disappointed to have this internship end. While it was challenging, I was able to further develop my tailoring skills while at this internship. I may not have been learning many new skills, but I was working on developing knowledge that I already had. I'm disappointed that I won't have the opportunity to further develop these skills while I’m down here.

- On the positive side, I absolutely love my internship at Adam Worling PR. I'm learning a lot about Fashion PR, and I really enjoy the office atmosphere. I look forward to spending a fourth day here. It's odd to think that I will only be attending this internship twelve more times, and then I come home.

Overall, I suppose it's a draw. I was liking the dual internship and felt it was more tailored towards my interests, but everything happens for a reason and I'll still be leaving Australia having learned a lot about the fashion industry.
