There is only 5 weeks of the semester left!

That's right, only five whole weeks!!!!  Strangely enough, I'm not feeling the pressure yet.  A lot has been going on in my life since I last posted.

Unfortunately I was so close, yet so far in obtaining a paid internship at the Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, FL this summer.  Hopefully I'll get even closer next summer!

But good news is that I just recently found out that I did get the summer internship at the MFA, sadly unpaid.  At least I'll still be gaining skills for my future career field!  I'll be cataloguing and scanning slides from the MFAs exhibition collection, and then uploading them online for public access.  Should keep me busy :-)

I'm in the final stretch of enjoying my little hobbit hole, pictured below:
This awesome nook has served me well while I acclimated to Boston living!  Now I'm preparing myself for the transition into apartment life with Rachel! 

With my newly gained form of living independence, I realized that I didn't want to lug my Bernette sewing machine down from Maine, so instead I found this awesome Janome Hello Kitty sewing machine via Target online!!! Check out the link below!

Hello Kitty Sewing Machine

With this handy-dandy portable machine I shall hopefully better my sewing skills, by finishing a quilt, and by making furnishings and treatments for my humble abode! 

I started my second job at the MFA today processing donations for the Give The Arts A Chance campaign.  I love it!  It's so nice to get a chance to get off of the selling floor for a bit, and do something a bit more practical towards my degree (using a database). 

I'm living in a sea of copyright right now.  My term paper for archives is about copyright and access of visual resources within an archive, my essay for this week in digital stewardship was about copyright, and my portion of my group paper is alllllll about copyright.  It's a good thing I like the topic a lot or else I'd go mad!!

Spring is in the air here in Boston and I can't wait for it to get over 40 degrees! It's been below normal temps for over a week now and I feel as if it's January, not almost April.  The robins are back and that's an exciting sight to see!

Now if you don't mind, I have a cataloging assignment that I have to finish before I meet with Candy tomorrow.  Ta!
