The Penultimate Post

I can't believe this is my second to last blog post for this internship. This summer went by so fast. School is right around the corner (ugh), and with my new job starting this upcoming week, and me moving out of my apartment in less than two week, let's just say I'm going to be pretty busy. But I'll be fine....right?

I have never felt more spiritually connected to something in my life.

I had training this week, so I only went into the RICHES office Monday and then today, Friday.

Thanks to Laura and Dr. Lester, the items I needed for the exhibit are up on RICHES as we speak and I was able to work on the exhibit. I still have one item left, which is an oral history that I spent most of today transcribing. I'll finish it up Monday, including writing the metadata. I still have a good amount of items that need metadata, but I have to be realistic and know that I may not be able to finish it all and that is ok. I'm not a failure (repeats as a mantra to get through this internship/grad school).

My main focus will now be the finishing up the exhibit and the paper. I'm not sure when my presentation is, but the way this month is going, I'm sure it will be on a day where I have to move out of my apartment/go to work/everything that's ever been due is due right then, because that is my life. Being a semi-adult is hard.

This gifset deal also does a great job at describing grad school

Next week I'll wrap up this blog with some poignant, millenial-ish insight that will be (obviously) hysterical, but also extremely heart-wrenching and profound.

It'll mostly just be gifs.
