Catch-Up!

Okay, I have three days to explain, but I don't have much time because I have a paper due tomorrow. So this will be short and sweet.

Saturday, I seriously planned to do homework all day. Instead, I went to a Finnish play with my landlord and one of her friends. My landlord is a crazy pants- in the best way possible. She is always making sure I have enough clothes on, am I cold?, am I eating enough?, am I bored?, am I comfortable? yada yada yada. Like my mom, but annoying at times (No Mom, you're not annoying).

So anyway, we went to a Finnish play in the Kennedy Center that is part of a series called Nordic Cool. The play was in Finnish, so I obviously had no clue what was going on. But it was just neat to experience it. Next week there is a Swedish play, but I think I will have to work when it's on. That's about all I did Saturday.

Sunday, I went to the Natural History Museum with Sam and Krist, two other interns. We stayed there for a few hours, where I saw the evolution of the sloth. Sloths used to seriously be HUGE. Like it's rib bone was bigger than me. I would crap my pants if that's how big they were today. I also saw a bunch of scary sea creatures that live on the bottom of the ocean. There really is a fish that has one of those lightbulb things on its head that it sucks in its mouth. We also went to a place called Tonic, where I ate the best tater tots of my life accompanied by mac n cheese with bbq pulled pork and onions. Food of the gods y'all. Then I had to come home and finish some homework super fast.

That brings us to Monday. Today was my first day being at the museum alone. I'm the only intern who works on Monday. I was nervous- so, so, so, sooo nervous. But things went very well. Everyone is so super helpful. There was a group from Lexington there today. It's so cool when things like that happen. I directed nine million people to the bathroom, but hey, I don't care. I love it. I also got to close Daniel's Story, which just reopened, so I got to see the exhibit pretty brand spanking new since it just got refurbished. It was a great day! Plus I got my burgundy blazer today, so I'm pretty dang happy about that.

That's all I have for today. I must go and do more homework.
