Nearing the end!

Well, it's the end of March now, and I am expected to present what I have done during my internship within three to four weeks. Considering I'm only here for ten hours a week, that is not a lot of time to finish everything up! Professor Sample is pleased though with everything I have gotten done so far as I have finished everything she majorly wanted done. The rest is just icing on top of the cake according to her, even if it doesn't feel that way to me. I have to make a PowerPoint explaining my job so that the intern who comes next will know how to do what I have been doing. While I feel that accessioning artifacts into PastPerfect is simple once you know how, it's a tad bit difficult to explain with just words and screenshots. So creating the PowerPoint is taking up time that I could be spending doing other things, but then again, isn't the PowerPoint going to make things run smoother and faster for future interns if I do it right? I guess it's a catch-22 - go quick to get my own work done faster, or be slower and more detailed to make future intern's work go quicker?

It's a New Day

Hello again everyone! I'm back at work after taking Thursday off, and working hard is my plan for today! I have been accessioning items at random based on what I thought was most important, but now I am focusing on one area at a time, and today I will finish at least the front desk items if not more. It feels so good to have a plan in place, especially one that I can conceivably finish!

Live after Five!

Hello again world! Checking back in after a wonderful spring break, to find out that Sanford held on Thursday a monthly event named Live After Five. This i like a huge block party, that I was a part of working at the PHC table over in the KidZone! We made Saint Patrick's Day headdresses and pictures of Shamrocks! On top of that, coming back to internship after spring break had a huge surprise over in the archives room! Professor Sample had found in a teaching trunk a 1906 Kodak Folding Camera and an old candlestick telephone! They are going to go into the Turn of the Century Classroom now that I have accessioned them!
