First Day at the Internship

Today was exciting and flew by. Unlike the mindless work at Stop & Shop, I got to do something I like and had a fun first day at PAAM. Everyone was wicked nice and I'm excited about some of the projects my boss told me I'd be working on. One of them that's going to be long-term is to get a package together for rentals within the galleries. I'm definitely glad I'm doing the management internship because this seems more my style so far than doing what some of the other workers were doing today. Tomorrow I get to help out at the silent auction which is a big fundraiser for the museum. It'll be exciting to go since I've never been to an art auction before. I'm looking forward to Monday! -- Bet you don't say that often.

Other than that I've started making friends! It's nice to finally have people to hang out with. The beach is now more fun because I have people to talk to and the nights are getting more exciting. I'll post more this weekend at some point. I'm going to go enjoy the nice evening after yesterdays rain.

Update

So just a quick update because I realized I haven't written anything in a while. The weather hasn't been the greatest the past few days so I've relished working indoors and watched too much TV for my own good. I did have a nice Memorial Day weekend which was full of amazing weather. Some college friends were down for the week and I hung out with them. Some high school friends visited and we went to a drag show, my dad came down and we went to breakfast in town, and my friend from Providence visited. I finally knew people in town! Work is starting to feel more friendly and I'm starting to recognize people around town which is nice. Internet is now accessible inside my room which is a big bonus! I finally went to visit A. Paul Filiberto at his studio and he was extremely nice. We made some small talk and I got to interrogate him while I watched him paint. I'm going to take him up on his offer to paint in his studio once I get some of the materials together. Luckily I won't have to worry about paint!
