April 3, 2013

Today was not that eventful. I spent most of my day researching who our state representatives and congressmen were. Remember that thank you letter I wrote a while back for the Texas Commission of the Arts grant? Well today I had to look up addresses for all of those people, then address many envelopes and send them off in order to receive the grant money. It was nice to see my letter being sent to important individuals who played a role in supporting the arts and specifically the Mexic-Arte Museum. 

Since I had a lot of free time today, I reflected a lot about why I chose to intern at the Mexic-Arte Museum. I was not directed towards an internship posting, nor did I find it easily. However, I had known for most of my college career that I wanted an internship at this specific museum. What I liked from it, externally, is that it seemed that they had a real passion for Mexican-American art. I know that sounds obvious, but, it the staff just gave off a very genuine vibe. Now that I am an intern, I feel like I'm part of the Mexic-Arte family. The staff is very close-knit and hilarious and brilliant. I have never been a part of such a creative bunch who care so deeply about my own culture. Okay, I'm rambling now. But it's getting very close to the end of my internship and it's only natural to reminisce :)
