My first week of school is
done! I have four classes again this semester: Merchandising Strategies,
Merchandise Buying, Applied Trend Forecasting, and Textile Science.
Merchandising Strategies is going
to be a super fun class!! The teacher is high energy and made it really
interesting—the first day anyway! This class is a continuation of a class I had
last quarter. It sounds like I’ll be learning about the different strategies
stores use when selling merchandise i.e. private label vs. national brand,
strategic partnerships, customer relations, etc.
Merchandise Buying is going to be HORRIBLE!!! Absolutely horrible! My friend and I
decided that the teacher’s mouth doesn’t move when she talks and it’s
physically impossible for her to smile. She is going to be terrible!
Applied Trend Forecasting is another continuation from last quarter. I loved my trends
class last quarter and am excited for this one. Last quarter we talked about
trends as a whole whereas this quarter is going to be geared more toward
fashion trends.
Textile Science isn’t going to be fun, either. The teacher warned us within the
first five minutes that it’s solely a lecture class. I’ll be learning about
what fabrics are made of (animal/plant, cellulose/fiber, etc.), how to care for
them (ironing temperature, what thread can be used with what fabric, etc.), how
to identify thread count and what it means, and be able to identify what fabric
something is made of by just looking at it. I could honestly care less, I just
like cute clothes.
