Well, there's a picture of Nate all fast asleep and cozy in my chair last week. (He's been a tired baby lately from work & his brother moving to Portland, OR). i swear anyone could sleep an eternity in that thing.
As for me........in case you didn't notice the title of my post: i GOT my summer INTERNSHIP!! i am so excited to start, which is next Tuesday. A summary of the project is: a research project to find out more background history, including historical context, of a 14th century (i think) world map, of which only 4 or 5 were created like it. it is a map originally created and cut to be pasted on a spherical globe, but never was, and was created by a German monk in monastic France. it eventually ended up in the private collection of the family Lichtenstein (spelling?- gimme a break, i havent done the reading yet!) of Austria, then was found in the global antiquities market after years of being folded into a book. that felt like all one breath... heh. anyway, i will essentially be a research assistant to the James Ford Bell Library museum curator. And, it's possible that our finding may be published! Very exciting indeed. oh yeah, i get to work on my French and Latin skills as well; look out grad school- i'm coming prepared!! Only, damn that German language- i still have to learn just that one more...... oh well.
In another side-note, i am so happy for physical capability reasons to have gotten the internship job because my hands/wrists just were not making it easy to find temporary work that i could do without constant stress upon and pain in them. so, i must conclude that this internship is more than just a great opportunity, but also an extreme blessing, for which i am very thankful.
Do YOU have something for YOUR mother on sunday?? I do, but i can't tell becuz she'll read this....obviously that would be no fun. Also, Steven's confirmation is this Sunday, and it seems as though much of the fam is actually going to be present, unlike other Fishing Opener weekends that seemingly always magically land on mother's day weekend. So my mom has planned a nice brunch at Kozlak's for a few of us; should be GREAT food.
So do any of you guys watch Lost? WHAT A SHOCKER last week! Saw tonight's too, but wheeeeew!! this show has got me so hooked! i havent been this hooked since Jag (yes, yes, a very bad, guilty pleasure show for which i have been plentifully ostracized). Forget reality TV, gameshows, and all that crime&grime, dead ppl shows! I also havent really watched tv much in the last few years due to school and traveling, so it's been weird to follow a show! In case anyone wants to know (and borrow...... ;), i've got the complete first season of Lost............
Also, i havent passed the motorcyle onto someone yet due to weather and circumstance, but any day now, as it is indeed sold, even if not picked up. *tear*......
That's the exciting update! -chris
