As I'm sure you have all been wondering, I never found a job. Other than meaning that I have been doing my best to spend absolutely nothing while Wes spends more than he had bargained for, this means that I will be cutting my internship short. I now have two weeks left here at the Historic Columbia Foundation and I am very sad to see the time slipping so quickly away. I have learned so incredibly much during my time here and have gained so much from the experience that I'm realizing just how much I'm really going to need to savor my last two weeks.
This week I have been continuing to rework my signage proposal and get everything in perfect order. I have also been familiarizing myself with the USC library which at times makes me feel like I never left Parks at ISU. Something about being locked away in a cubical at a library makes me focus...maybe its because there's nothing to look at other than what I have brought to work on...or maybe its because that's what everyone else is doing (or at least trying) around me. Either way, I'm becoming very proud of the work that I have been doing. This proposal has been at times frustrating, confusing, and at times produced almost as much writers block as my term paper for 396C last semester, but it will no doubt be some of the best work I have done in college. Who knew that would happen in Columbia SC and not Iowa!
Since I am leaving Columbia earlier than planned I'm not going to get to do any real work with the Woodrow Wilson Family home. I just wont have time to split between both projects. The time I've already spent with the project (meetings, background research) was great. I learned a lot about a very influential president and an era that isn't taught a lot in school.
