Day Twenty

My final day was great! During the coffee break, the employees held a small party for me and wished me luck. I've been invited to work in the summer and I was kindly given some recommendations. It was good excellent junior project.

Day Nineteen

I spent most of the day cleaning up and getting ready to leave. It was a good project, but now I'm ready to be done. I'm looking forward to hear about how the projects of other juniors have gone. I hope there will be more to report about on the last day.

Day Eighteen

Winding down the internship now. I checked the inventory of two disaster supply closet and finished another draft of my article. I may take some photographs of the vault and all the things stored in the library building. The American Philosophical Society has a pretty impressive inventory.

Day Seventeen

I finished reboxing the collection today. It was another quiet day, but I do get to start working on two disaster supply closets tomorrow. I have a feeling that this next project will not take all day and I will have extra time to possibly spend some time reading or studying for the SAT. I do not feel angry at all that I have less to do right now, I think it is hard enough already for the library staff members to find me a job for only a month. I only have 3 more days and I don't think it is easy to find 3 day projects.

Day Sixteen

I stayed dry today in the library as it poured outside for most of the work day. Although reboxing the Eastwick collection is not the most interesting thing I have done during this internship, it is not very stressful. I was able to make a couple corrections to the work I did during the beginning of the month, nothing spectacular.

Here is a doodle I found in a diary the other day.

Day Fifteen

I finished another draft today and began to rehouse the Eastwick collection into new folders. I am excited to be close to finishing my internship, but not so excited to go back to school. I still really enjoying the project (particularly the later wake up), but I it is an awkward job. I don't have any job training and because I'm only at work for a month, I don't get very large projects. The fact that the job does not follow me home after work hours is however much better than homework.

Here is a drawing of a house somehow related to a "Rittenhouse", possibly a house in Rittenhouse Town, Philadelphia.

Day Thirteen and Fourteen

Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday. I was sick and stayed home for the day. Today I finished up my draft of my article and enjoyed the feeling of being almost done another project. Tomorrow I will probably start a new project and revise my paper in the evening. The most interesting thing to see today was the original charter for the colony of Pennsylvania.

Here is what I believe is a drawing of Grumblethorpe by Charles J. Wister Jr.
