My internship has started and i haven't had time to look at myself in the mirror. although i dislike the final job because of it's requirements (it is very hard to take care of many people and all the trouble they can give you - being a tourist guide) i am anxious to start working with the museum's visitors and hand them all the information and effort that my studying has payed me so far.
In fact, I am very eager for my contact with the public starts so that I can pay them assistance when they are looking at the museum's pieces. Some of the cars have some special stories and some interesting details that the visitors have no clue about and need to be pointed out by someone who knows them. Besides that, the speech has to be adapted for each nationality, language, group, age and sex since everyone has different tastes and purposes in the visit. My colleagues are great, they are very helpful and joyful which i hope we can show the tourists that we'll be working with in the future. For now we still have a lot to study so that we can answer all the questions of the public, we do it in the mornings and in the afternoons combined with visits from a tutor of ours and Portuguese Tour Guides. So far I am enjoying the experience but it has only been 2 weeks since it started, i still have nearly 6 more to come so wish me luck.
As for photography I am taking a break. As long as I dont have a computer to work on my photos or simply to look at them I can hardly see the point in sending some of my ideas (badly made) into the internet. It would publish terrible results and my ideas that people would take advantage of. I am clicking the world around me nevertheless i definitely need a computer... Probably only at the 21st of July (hopefully!)
