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

lab hours 4/14

I went to the museum-opening about an hour and a half early, in hopes of being able to help with any last minute touches, but it seemed like everything had already been covered [I hope this can still count for something since I had intentions of being put to work :) ]. But this was my first time seeing it, so I took my time looking at everything before the room got crowded [it was a good turn-out!]
Worked on the assignment today for 2.5 hours; I spent way too much time on the job boards, but it was interesting and intimidating at the same time, which explains why it took me so long to choose a position to post. Definitely puts things into perspective.
I was impressed by my classmates' postings [that had been completed so far] and realized I didn't have much to say for the assignment, even though it seemed like a good excersize. But its a learning experience, which is what I also took from the Burcaw reading; that we should be prepared to start at any level to work our way up, and get out foot in the door. It was encouraging to read that, and also about filling vacancies by promoting/ hiring from within. I'm interested to hear more about this in the next couple weeks.
There's a lot of work to do before I can tackle one of those job postings in the real world. But I'm motivated and optomistic.

Time: 4 hours

Lab Hours 3/30

Spent about 2 hours in museum last Wednesday, but not much else to log :/
I was hoping to come in Thursday to help with the cases, but I won't be available. Boo... But everything is looking great! The geneaology wall turned out well.
Guess I'll be seeing the final product next week

Lab Hours 3/24

Well I wish I could say that this week was as successful as last week in terms of lab hours. I spent about 45 minutes going through everyone's blogs. Thanks Nessa for organizing the feast with Alexis and SAS! Looking forward to it and also to Dr.C who had to go through all our group stuff!
But it looks like everyone did a great job.
I went to the museum after class yesterday to lend a hand, even if it meant making little puddy balls with Stacey or picking scraps off the floor. Carrie and I also worked on mounting some images onto foamcore but I think I need some more practice...
I was there for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Also spent 30 minutes on reading for today, but I think that's pretty much it. I'm hoping to help more in the museum this week/ over springbreak [if Dr.C will be there one day, but then again, she probably wouldn't mind a vacation]

Time: 3 hours
