Today was a very full day as I had to get school early and we also had a Mexican celebration and then I had my internship. We first started out by helping out with some work for night market: we needed to make the signs for all the different sections and events at the market. So first we drew the block letters out and then went over everything in black marker. Making sure all the letters were straight and aligned with each other was hard because you have to step back every once in a while to see it all together, but I think we did a pretty good job even though we only did one. After we changed and were about to do another merchandise modeling session, our managers took us into one of the rooms where they are going to install their train to Asia project. The installation was blocked out and they weren't sure yet if they should completely remove one of the walls to make the room feel bigger or only take half of it down. Eventually, through some group conversation and looking at our options we decided that taking the entire wall down would be our best option. After that we actually went and did our modeling session but this time we had Leon so we first took some stills with our clothes and then we eventually moved on to modeling with their thermoses, sitting standing and other poses. We didn't just do stills, however, we had another colleague there to help us with filming some instagram reels to post on social media to show off their merchandise in a more lively and modern way. The modeling session took up the rest of the day but all in all it was pretty fun and we had some good laughs.

9/8/22 - Starting Again

    Today was the first day back at the internship, so we were mainly catching up and talking about new developments and changes. Now they have a gift shop and some people have moved around departments and there are new faces. It was nice to see everybody again after the summer and re-establish things like using slack, which took some time due to technical difficulties, or other things like MyImpact where we track our hours and volunteering. We talked about what we are doing in school, now that I am a junior, and our odyssey trip, as well as J and M-term stuff which they were interested about, going over things like Jeremy's Singapore M-term. The biggest thing we did, however, was the goal setting and interest form. We completed this form when we started our internship last year, but we did it again because after a year, goals and interests change so we filled out the form again. It was quite an involved form where we had to spell out what work and professional related go...

Helping in the Gallery and Modeling

    Today was a very interactive day and we got to work with departments outside of our own which was nice. It was also my first time driving to my internship which was a nice experience and gives me a lot of freedom. Anyway, the first thing on the agenda was to help with Rebecca in exhibitions again, the display cases had been cleaned and put up, and most of the rest of the exhibit was completed, but the reading area at the end of the main hallway was empty. First we had to measure the dimensions of the bookshelves and then we needed to go down to storage and get some Mylar plastic, which is a special type of plastic used as a clear and protective barrier between books, art, or other delicate and the surface they are placed on. after we successfully cut the plastic in the right dimensions and lined it up on the bookshelves, we organized book onto them, grouping them in four different categories: Art, Adult, Teen, and Kid. Once we had finished helping with that, we were taken ...
