The Internship

One of the main reasons why I chose to study at the Umbra Institute in Perugia was because they offered an internship in my field of study. To get it you had to sign up showing interest in the course and fill out a small application. The most stressful part of it was waiting until I showed up to find out if I got it or not since they were only accepting four people and I guess quite a few applied.

Well I got it!

It's got a seminar portion to it in which we learn about museums in general and our museum in relation to Italian History so it looks like it'll be a lot of fun. We also get to learn how to use WordPress which is a website design software found online to make your own website, so that will certainly come in handy for the future. The professor also said that we can do personal projects there too and gave a few ideas that they had. One was looking through World War 1 documents as we are in the 100th anniversary of it this year, and making a database for it. Another was creating a program for school kids to enjoy when they come to visit. Both sound wicked cool and peak my interests so I can't wait to see how this plays out.
