Busy with Grad School and Curatorial Internship

So it's been a while. So much has been happening in my life. Latest is that I'm in North Carolina for my next chapter in life: grad school. Being back in school again is okay, I'm not so thrilled with living here. I don't have many friends in the surroundings. But I'm making the best of it, and I'm really enjoying interning at the Mint Museum of Art. So far is a lot of time in the library researching, and in the lab or in front of the computer cataloging. But I'm already helping out with research and observing the exhibition design process of the museum's upcoming exhibit The Helga Pictures, that will be showcasing 70 works by world-renowned artist Andrew Wyeth. The curator I'm assisting, Mr. Michael Whittington, also wants me to take the docent training of the museum to learn about the history of the museum and the collections which is also fascinating. Here are some pics of my views around campus and The Mint Museum of Art these days.
