Coasting

I feel a little like I'm coasting at my internship. Sarah and I are compiling that database, and it's kind of tedious work, but I don't mind it. We can talk to each other, and to be quite honest, this project feels a little like busy work. I don't think that the database we're making is critical to the survival or development of the museum; it's just going to be a nice reference tool for them to use (even though it will be outdated in the next year or so).

I also feel like my semester as a whole is coasting to the finish line. I just got done with a paper, presentation, test, and other large assignment that were all due on Monday and Tuesday, but all the work has paid off; I feel great! Exam week is coming up, and I love exam week because there's nothing new to digest, it's just getting reacquainted with old stuff. My singing group is also finished for the year, so I'm excited about that because I'm done having to listen to the members complain and whine about EVERYTHING in their lives. Every week I wanted to tell someone, "Grow up. You're in college. Be an adult and deal with it." I understand that there can be extenuating circumstances, but I feel like there will always be a hurdle at every stage of everything. It's just how life is, and dealing with it is how we learn to grow.

I'm a little sad about leaving the Museum. Some of the volunteers finally know my name, and I'm finially at the point where I don't feel like an intruder when I walk in the door. I will say though, that I'm glad I got the experience and I hope my next internship (or first job) is as harmless yet educational and beneficial as this one.
