so sleepy...must..log...hours

This week has been crazy...!!
I'm very happy to say that I have completed the write-ups for my section of Group2. We did a pretty good job keeping in touch over the last week via email, which seemed a little overwhelming at times [sometimes I'd log on and there'd be 20 new emails!] But it was an effective way to communicate so we could go back through our ideas :)I'm very proud of our group. Thank ladies, we rocked it
Most of the labhours were spent sifting through smugmug [again] as well as the accession file, and also writing up the didactic panels. There was also a considerable amount of time proofing everyone's text panels and discussing ideas.
Today I went by the museum and spoke with Dr.C regarding some picture/text display questions as well as the mysterious mini-baskets...dundunDUUUN! But it ended up being an interesting story-theory and I was glad I was there to witness Dr.C's shock moment. lol.
I can't wait to see how everything gets fabricated.

Time: 9.5 hours on computer [group emails, proofing, writing, organizing]
1 hour at mueseum with Dr.C

getting the ball rolling and lab hours

Unfortunately, my blogged was hacked at some point, so I spent about 30 minutes adjusting settings, the cookies, and changing password before taking Dr.C's suggestions to take the fish tank gadget off my page :( but it worked, and seems to be working fine.
There has been much progress this week with everyone starting their portion of the exhibit. I met with my group for a total of 1.5 hours [ 15 min Wednesday, and 1 hour and 15 min this psat Monday] to discuss our ideas and splitting up the main focuses.
I spent a lot of time [3.5 hours] looking at the ethnohistoric documents [Cotton's notebook], the accession file and Dr.C's smugmug gallery, studying the Cotton labels as well as comparing them to the transition museum tags. Also caught up on readings.
Our group will be meeting again today to assemble the storyboard [but I suppose that time will count for next weeks hours]
Looking forward to seeing what the other groups' visions for their sections.
It's coming together :)
