I have settled into Omaha, Nebraska finally. Initially, I thought it was huge compared to Raleigh---but I'm starting to think it's about the same size. I've gone exploring every night and I've definitely discovered the hot places to shop--I'm sure my parents want to know this : )
So, I will take you on a tour of where I work. First of all, I work at 1258 S 13th Street, which I would call downtown Omaha--if not downtown--then it's literally a couple blocks from the downtown area. It's near the Old Market--a very artsy/eclectic area downtown that's definitely been my favorite part thus far. It kind of reminds me of Brightleaf Square in Durham or where all the cobble streets are in downtown Raleigh.
Outside of Mosaic:
My camera lens isn't wide enough to capture the inside in one shot, but piece the next two images together in your head
This image to the left:
And this image to the right:
Mosaic is very artsy, which I LOVE. A lot of local art galleries donate artwork and Mosaic sells the pieces for fund-raising purposes.
More artwork:
Most of the programs take place on the bottom level and then the office area is in the loft.
This is Jodi:
I corresponded with her A LOT about getting this internship. So, I owe her many thanks. She took me to the Old Market today and we explored a little bit down there. She'll be going to Alaska next week to visit family and then Germany in June!
The Mosaic staff has a method for knowing if it's okay to interrupt colleagues:
It seems to work well for them.
More of the loft:
I put THREE of these file hanging devices together all by myself:
Only a little bit of blood was shed and they even worked:
One of the staff members got a new dog and brought him in:
I've been doing a lot of random things at Mosaic. Some things are not so exciting, but others are more interesting. The more I work there---the more I feel better about coming to Omaha. The "what have I gotten myself into" thought definitely ran through my head the first day I was here. I am definitely confident in my decision now about working in Omaha this summer though.
Anyway, I'm learning to live on my own too. I was kind of overwhelmed when I got to the grocery store. So, I called my mom. I managed to make it out of the store though with the basics: bread, eggs, cheese, mayonnaise, PB&J, bananas, bagels, cream cheese, and peanuts. I can't cook--but I can scramble eggs--which I think is a fairly big thing. Maybe I'll venture out and attempt to cook something, but for now--I will stick with my PB&J sandwiches and scrambled eggs.
Also, they do not have grey squirrels in Omaha--they are RED!!!
Until later,
Meredith
