Finally getting my footing

Wow, it was certainly been a whirlwind these past 2 weeks.

I packed, moved, found an apartment, and got my wisdom teeth removed all in the same week. I was slightly terrified of being sedated for the surgery after watching this "informed consent" video about how you can die, but as you probably can deduct all went well. "Going under," or so to speak, was the strangest thing I have ever experienced. It was not like going to sleep or anything else people tried to describe it to me as. It literally felt like I had blinked, I was completely unaware that I had been out. One minute I was crying saying I don't know about this, the next the dentist was telling me it was over.

Corey graduated, yay! The ceremony was so long and boring, but that's how they all are. He came up here with me and has been here the first week - so that has been really nice. (I am staying with his aunt and uncle here in maryland.) We toured a little and took some great pictures. He is in Ireland now and will be going to Spain and Italy over the next 3 weeks.

My first day of my internship was not very fun. People were rude, it was rainy, and all I did was stand in lines, fill out forms, and process paperwork. Fortunely it had to go up from there, and it has been. Everyday I have been here has been a little better than the last. And I think that I am really going to enjoy this summer, and learn more than I ever thought.

I am working 2 days a week in the registrars office. One day filing and the other day helping in the packing room. And then working 2 days with a team of conservators to clean the sculptures, tomorrow is my first day with that, so I guess I will see how it goes.
