zee final post 5/12

This week was similar to the week we had to turn in our group projects... it seemed a little crazy. Despite starting last week and trying to pace myself, I still felt like I was doing so much every day. lol. I think I was obsessing about trying to cover every little detail about each of my objects; it starts to get a little jumbled.
I've spent about 13 hours working on the research over the past week, which includes last week's visit to the museum during cancelled-class time as well as this past Monday when Dr. C allowed me to sit in the museum with my objects Monday when it was closed [it was too quiet! I was a little creeped out]
two hours definitely goes to figuring out the Adobe-Pro thing [so many complications; so these docs better go through. lol]
But it has been a great learning experience. The structure of the class was different and challenging, which I was a little apprehensive about at first, but it all started to flow. [I wish it was twice a week though] but it has provided a better perspective on museum work, which I appreicate and hope to take further. It has also been great working with everyone in the class! I liked that it was small and we could all learn from eachother [cheesy, I know]
**Thanks Dr.Castenada!**

total time: 13 hours

reflecting on class time

I wish I had done a post last week after class because now I have too much to talk about for one post, and some of it is delayed...
I'm very happy with the title for our exhibit! Although it seemed very chaotic at the time, it was successful to intergrate various words from other title ideas.
I was also excited about the cemetary trip/ information, but as I've read on Stacy's blog, it seems difficult to access the information we need. I commented that we should make a field trip out there :) It would be a great feature of the exhibit to have a picture and information with the gravestone. On a side note, I was glad I wasn't the only one confused about the Cotton history...both father and son have the same first, middle, and last names?? Way to make things confusing...
[But I was glad to see that Carrie did a post about the geneaology! thanks!]
I think that just about covers things from last class...
Oh, and I was finally able to see two of my three items last week; I feel bad for my BAS183 because i'm in LOVE with BAS147...Although I'm jealous of Raquel's mini baskets, I must say that I got lucky with this one :)
