I have FINALLY and officially begun my work with the UMFA (Utah Museum of Fine Arts) and will be working with the contemporary curator there, Jill Dawsy. She is extremely nice and is almost as excited to have my help as I am to be helping. I really think this is going to be an awesome opportunity for me and I'm SO SO happy about filling part of my schedule with art history again. I for sure still miss working in the

MOA (Museum of Art in Provo) & it will always hold a special place in my heart, but I am grateful for the opportunity to expand my museum experience and gain new perspectives on museum work. I think I should be working with Jill at least until the summer begins and I have a feeling I'm going to love it!
Another note... Everyone one knows my affinity for my fellow man of the Asian descent, for multiple reasons. One, we all know I will end up marrying one and two, when Catie returns from Korea she will have become Asian herself... a fact I am not opposed to. Today I was at the U library doing some research. A group of Asian students, who were looking for a book on Monet (of all people:) decided to take a break next to where I was reading some articles. Maybe this isn't even funny, but for some reason it gave me a pretty good laugh when it happened. Their conversation went something like this (please keep in mind the accent):
Student 1: "Do you want to watch The Office tonight?"
Student 2: "I hate that show."
Student 1: "You're weird, do you watch tv?"
Student 2: "I watch cops."
Cops... after all, this is America.
