Lyman Allyn Museum of Art | New London, CT

I am finished with grad school!!! As of May 4, 2012, all of my internship hours, reports, and documentation are completed and turned in. Now I just need to wait until May 19th before it becomes official with Texas Tech University.

Passing my Exams, Dia: Beacon, Boston MFA, and Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum | Lubbock, TX, Beacon, NY, & Boston, MA

I'm sorry that it has been so long since my last post, but it feels like my life has been either consumed with studying or speeding by. 


From the middle of February through the beginning of March I have been preparing for my comprehensive exams and internship presentation in Lubbock. My week of academic hazing (as one of my professors puts it lol) consists of three days of writing essays in response to questions posed by my graduate committee members, a presentation and question and answer session about my internship experience, and an oral defense of my essays with my graduate committee. It was a long and nerve racking week, but I am extremely happy to report that I passed and will be receiving my Master of Arts in Museum Science in May :) 


Now that my exams are over I have time for more adventures. This past weekend I was able to visit three of the places on my list: Dia: Beacon, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

Exploring New London | New London, CT

I will be traveling to Lubbock, Texas, soon to take my comprehensive exams and give my internship presentation. Today I went exploring in New London to take photos to include in my presentation. Enjoy a pictorial journey of New London, Connecticut, one of the former major whaling seaports in the United States.

First Snow, Clyde's Cider Mill, and the Brooklyn Museum | Groton, CT, Mystic, CT, & Brooklyn, NY

It's been awhile since my last post and a lot of things have been happening in the Northeast. We had our first snowfall on October 29! Because I live on the coast we only got a thick dusting, but farther inland many major roads and towns were closed. 

The 1,700 Mile Journey: Part 1

After several requests from various friends, I decided to blog about living, working, and traveling in the Northeast. So...how did I end up moving from Oklahoma to Connecticut? 

Approximately 1742 miles
