Bliss

I started my internship yesterday.

So far it's been nothing but amazing. My only complaint is that I dont have enough to do yet but I've only just begun.

Yesterday, I edited the English section for the manuscript of a new book they are working on.

Then I translated a bio about the Turkish artist, Ali Sami Boyar.

Those both were a bit difficult but I loved everything about it. It felt right.

And the people here are great. I am in the curators office with 3 other ladies. One just graduated college, one seems to be in her mid-twenties, and the boss is probably in her 30s. They are very warm and sweet. Then there is Erol who comes here from the restoration department to chill here to basically crack jokes.

It's great just being in this office with artifacts cluttering the room.

But perhaps the best part is their taste in music.

This morning I was finish up some translating I started yesterday and as I sat working with my tea, Tugce started playing Edith Piaf.
Cool.
After we had enough Piaf, Ayse turned on some Radıohead.
Awesome.
And after lunch/tea with everyone we get back to the office Tugce one ups Ayse with some Beirut.
Perfect.
