day 2 of school
| | oh man, so I had my museums seminar today. And it looks like it will be completely awesome... except for the 25-30 page paper at the end of it, that looks like it will be lame. The lady who is teaching it the head of some department at the Sacramento
Railroad Museum, and all of our classes will take place there. I get to attend lectures on essentially ten aspects of running amuseum, from stuff that springs to mind (procuring and assembling collections) to stuff that doesn't (museum PR,
security issues, museum legal issues). It seems like EVERYONE in the class has spent THEIR WHOLE LIFE preparing for this class (like 2/3 of the class are employed by a museum, others have done internships there). It's hard to compete with a lady who has spent the last four years of her lie starting up an organization that collects the oral histories of african american men and women who have served in the the US military during war time, her goal is to open a museum along these things (people of color and the armed services). Or the woman who is currently putting together an exhibit for the Crocker Art Museum (the only accredited museum in the sacramento area). Everyone seems so damn focused, it's scary. Plus I think I made an ill (pun intended) impression on the class... namely as the Mucous Girl. The lady next to me told me at the break it would be okay if I went home, and I think she wasn't as concerned about MY health as she was about HERS. I'm actually feeling much better, the fever is down under a hundred (99.0!), now my sinuses are trying to revolt. I've been using this flushing stuff which helps, in that I do not suffer from a stuffy nose (leading to a protracted and messy sinus infection) but the trade off is that all the excess mucous my body creates seems to be in race to escape my sinus cavities as fast as possible
I feel pretty, oh so pretty.
PS Saturday is Museum Day in Sacramento! All the museums are open and admission is free, I have a guide for the local museums and I'm supposed to visit at least three. I'm hoping for the California State Capitol Museum, maybe the Governor's Mansion and the State Historic Cemetary. Because all of those sound pretty damn cool. Here's to hoping that I feel well enough to go!
