From lime green to "office blue:" taming down my office.

We've had some busy weeks since we returned to the states, including some moving, painting and new classes.

Raymond is living in an on-campus apartment this semester with a roommate. I'm moving into my own place this week! I'm excited to get organized and unpack boxes, but it will be a lot of work and I know I'm going to miss the comfort of being at my parent's house. I was away for so long that I have really appreciated being at home the past few weeks.

In other exciting news, Raymond and I painted my office over the weekend! Below you can see some ridiculous before and after pictures. Yes, it truly was lime green. We didn't quite finish, as I'm going to paint the trim white to match the door, but the blue is a vast improvement! It's not that I have anything against bright colors, but the lime green was too bright. Sometimes I wondered if I should be wearing sunglasses.

I really love my new workplace, especially the people I'm working with. It seems like there is never a dull moment, but also like I'm never going to be done "learning" my job. Every day I learn something new about marketing or the Museum, and I probably write down five to-do's for every one that I accomplish, but time will bring experience (and a vast history knowledge I had forgotten since Dr. Golden's World Civ class).

If you have never visited the Museum of World Treasures, please come see me! I'd love to give you a brief tour. If you're interested in what kinds of things I'm doing at work, "Like" the Facebook page! I update Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and several other sites for the Museum daily. Also, if you have been to the Museum before it would help me out a lot if you would write us a TripAdvisor, Google or Yelp review.

Can you believe it's already the end of January? Leave a comment letting us know how your classes are this semester or if you have any big plans for the Superbowl!
