So, this is it.

My last day at Spinning Hat. I cannot believe that my internship passed so fast.
I feel like I have just started. Three months ago I came to that office for the first time. To be honest I was stressed and terrified. I have never been in the UK before, and at the very beginning I have realized that my English is not as good as I thought (probably because I have never used that language in every day situations). It was a great opportunity to catch up with my meagre vocabulary - three months of intensive English course.
I was worried that because of my language imperfections and the fact that I’m just an intern I won’t be treated seriously. But how wrong I was! It turned out that Spinning Hat is a perfect place for interns. Despite the fact that people who work here are in various age, every person is treated in the same way, everyone has the same rights. I became a member of the team very fast. I could take part in every stage of broadly defined designing process. It was an amazing experience to watch the development of every new product, from the very beginning (quick sketches) to almost (one month more and I could see samples) ready artifacts.
And it was great fun too. People from Spinning Hat are completely unpredictable. They work differently, they think differently. Their heads are full of amazing hilarious ideas.
Crossing the doorstep of Spinning Hat office you come into Neverland where your age is only a number. They surprised me all the time. And I don’t remember when was the last time I laughed so often (Courtney and Simon, even though sometimes I didn’t understand your specific sense of humour, you should be prescribed as a remedy for autumn depression). The atmosphere was very friendly. I will never forget the last day and our lovely dinner in that small Italian restaurant (thank you, Damon). Liam and Canny, I wouldn’t survive without your emotional support and our small talks during the morning tea (but I still don’t understand how you can drink tea with milk…ugh!).

Thank you guys for three months of unpretentious fun and valuable experience in my curriculum vitae:)

And good luck!

Ps: I have already started to prepare for my travels. I bought (too many) books, clothes, Kellogg’s, Marmite and of course tea, tea and more tea… But these are the things that I’m taking with me as well, my favorite products from Spinning Hat. They will remind me about you and about the great time I spent in one of the most beautiful city I have ever been too. In London.










Ps 2: Cheryl, I can’t wait to see your wedding pictures :)
