Thursday!

Well, my picture is of my current day assignment, now it doesn't look that messy, but it is. The whole floor (which is not that big), well, not the whole floor, but the supplies and materials are very unorganized, and no one really knows where everything is or how much of it we have. So that has sort of been my on again off again assignment throughout the entire internship, and today that's what I'll be working on (for the most part). It really has been playing a part in professionalism, actually. When something is clean, organized, and put away in a nicely fashion, it just reflect better on you or the company. MCASD is professional, and it's a very clean organization and deserves better representation than what the second floor offers, so I'm trying to help them (though I'm not the most organized person in the world).

But leading away from the photo, I have learned other things. MCASD has shown me that no matter how many employees have to be layed off due to budget cuts (due to the economic climate) they still have deadlines to meet, programs to run, and exhibitions to organize and manage. Adaptation is something that I have learned is very prominent in the real world.

Rough Questions:

Where are you from?

Where did you go to college?

What did you originally want to accomplish or learn there? Did it change?

After college did you try out different things before deciding upon a career in education?

Why were you interested in getting a job at MCASD?

Did your original thoughts, plans, pretty much anything dealing with your perspective on MCASD change after working?

How well do you think the museum is adapting to the economic downturn at the moment?
