Internship, week of 4/9

Due to having some wisdom teeth removed on Monday, I missed my internship hours on Monday and Tuesday. However, I think the time off was good for me, as I really feel I tackled my duties with a new enthusiasm. Everything is coming together nicely for these last few weeks and I'll work some extra shifts to make up for my lost time.

The Archives dept received a very old camera recently. I'm not entirely clear on its age or origin, but I found it stunning to look at. Its really in fantastic condition, and the ability to see every angle, to reach out and touch this little piece of history... words really can't describe how much I love that. Nothing else really compares. Even in a museum you can't get this hands-on. I love how there's always something new (relatively speaking) to learn in the archives.
