First Day

I finally had my first day at my internship, which is something I have been waiting for a long time now. First I had to get back to Denmark and having injured my finger at work I now also have my research paper to finish, but I will make it. I hope!

Now back to the internship. Before I left Australia I had briefly talked on the phone with the museums director who told me she was planning to introduce me to a lot of different things at the museum, which was great, but I also feared that I would end up becoming the coffee-maker. However, when I got back to Denmark and we were able to discuss more thoroughly what I would be doing, she told me that she had changed the plans, so I now primarily had two main tasks: web management and something she wanted to tell me in person. I was extremely curious now.

I had my first day last week and the extra thing she would like me to do, is to curate an entire exhibition on the museums 1st floor. I am beside myself with excitement and also so nervous that I have to remember to breath. I feel very privileged to be given this opportunity and that she trusts me enough to be able to do it. Mind you, I am the first person to ever get an internship at this museum so she has no idea what to expect, and she trusted me with this job before we even met face to face. I respect her so much for being able to give away such a big task to a stranger.
