{College Night at the Getty}

Back in November I recieved, not one, but two emails 

 about doing an internship for the Getty Center in LA. 

So I thought it must be pretty cool and I put it on my to-do-list for things to check out. 

As it turned out the email was an application to be on one of the student committees to help plan their annual College Night at the Getty. I knew it must be an interesting if I recieved information about it from two different sources. To be honest I came this close {fingers showing just how close} to not even bothering applying.... why? you may ask.... because I didn't want to write the 150 words 

{yes, only 150 words, child's play for a college kid} 

on why I wanted to be on the Content Planning Committee. 

However, the night before the deadline, I sucked it up and wrote the 150.... and lo and behold it turned out to be one of my most cherished college experiences to date. And I was so sad when we had to say goodbye at the end of the fabulous night. 

The theme was LA STYLE featureing the photography of Herb Ritts: LA Style and Portraits of the Reknown. 

Over the course of the internship, we got to have meetings at the Getty and 

were able to see some of the 

inner workings of the Getty. 

I met amazing people, students and staff. 

Clare and Peter were our committee leaders. 

This is our group with Clare, we didn't end up getting a photo with Peter though...

 And of course Liz and Carmella!

All the Interns

And of course I had loads of fun hanging out at the Getty for College Night.
