The Finale

Work.

Coffee:

Reflection: The most personal experience I had was how to work in a team effort. Usually I am the person who does most of the work, but here I have learned that it is more efficient when you do the work in a group and also it helps you to be able to trust the people you work with more.

Layout Series:

This series shows how the museum was designed so that events could be held here but also so that there is enough for the public to view when they are coming in to view the artifacts.

Internship Day 11.0

Through the day I usually work with about 8 or even sometime 10 different people. But especially I work with three people who are my mentor, the office secretary and the man in charge which we call the Admiral. The direct collaboration is usually that I do some sort of work and then my mentor will look over it and she can say what she likes and what she doesn’t like. Then once we are both out of ideas we come over to the office and then she will critique it. The direct collaboration is a good thing because it helps to come out of the routine of just doing the same thing over and over again. The indirect work that happens is when I use the computer of the Museums Curator. he comes in on Saturday when I am not here and he uses the computer so if don’t leave it how he had he settings then he would have a hard time doing his work.

Internship Day 10.0

This week was a very relax and stressful week at the same time because of the fact that I had so much to do in one day. Through the week I have been working on a flyer that is going to be use to show the different types of package that the museum offer for renting the space. Also I was tasked with helping other around, things like bringing things or showing other interns how to do things. But overall I think that I have accomplished more than I thought I could. Also this week went smooth in the sense that I used a lot of the techniques that I have learned through the year in making things look professional.

Wrapping up the Day: Today was a very calm day because the internet was down and there only so much that we could do. So we mostly sat around and talked for about and hour or two until the Admiral came in and fix the internet.
