WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
My internship gave me a lot of hands-on experience with the workload of running a gallery. Besides learning important skills like matting, framing, and hanging museum-quality works, this internship was also unique in teaching me how to sell to a tourist customer-base.
HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
Only having a year of French under my belt paired with a general social anxiety made deep engagement with the French-speaking locals difficult. That being said, the person I interned for was a local, so I was able to join her for common experiences in Aix-en-Provence like buying fish from the daily farmer's market and experiencing the cafe culture. I ended up becoming acquaintances with a vendor at the market who sold pâtés and jams, and he gave me a discount on an artichoke pesto.
