Yesterday was my birthday. It has been too long since I've blogged. The end of the semester got crazy, and my summer hasn't been as relaxing as most would hope for! But I've put a new foot forward and am going to dedicate myself to this blog because there are many of you who I can't keep in the closest contact with and this is the easiest way for you all to follow my life. With that said, some drastic changes have occurred recently to spark a reinvention and self-reflection.
My relation of three years has ended, much to my dismay. I'm not 100% but I'm taking it day by day. The details of the breakup are not necessary to disclose, it's too hurtful, and I do still have to respect his decision.
With that said, I'm single in Boston; not so bad I'll have to admit. It'll be a while before I can even think of dating again, so in the meantime I'm going to finally let this amazing city embrace me and take advantage of all of the charms and adventures it presents to me! I held back on a lot of what goes on in this city, trying not to get attached. Now that there's nothing to look forward to that might displace me from this amazing place, I'm opening my eyes for the first time it feels like, just soaking it all in.
My internship in Digital Image Resources is going amazingly! I love weeding through 15 years of neglected slide mess, generating new call numbers, and scanning for reference images. At first I wondered why they still held on to their slide collection when everything else is digital, but then it occurred to me: they are now archival objects! One master is saved including (at most) two dupes, and digital objects are created if the work doesn't have an image to it. My library science brain is pleased :-) I also LOVE being able to look at records of objects that the museum holds, which aren't on public display. I feel like I've found my calling and am hoping that it's something I can further pursue once I graduate next year!
What else? OH meet STELLA! Aptly named after Frank Stella!
I adopted her a few weeks ago. She's been such a help giving me unconditional love, and helping me heal a little bit emotionally. She's 3, and is the most laid back cat I've ever met!
I think that's all I'll post for now. Next blog will entail some quilting projects which I've recently finished!
Ta!
