The End is Near

I'm winding down my stay here in Washington D.C. and I must say that I'm sort of sad. I've thoroughly enjoyed my internship and have learned a lot. I'm even more excited about the museum profession. Next week I make my final presentation on my program and wrap-up some other side projects then it's back to Gainesville (tear).

After missing Monday, due to illness, I've spent most of this week in meetings and workshops. Tuesday saw a meeting with the evaluators of the education department. We spent the day discussing what needs to be evaluated before the museum's opening, how to conduct the evaluations and the creation of an evaluation tool that can be easily adjusted after the museum has opened. Wednesday and Thursday brought the Mobile Learning Institute, where I used web 2.0 tools to create and upload a video to the Smithsonian's social networking site. I was supposed to attend a workshop on applying for Smithsonian jobs today (Friday), but just couldn't bring myself to go.

I think that I'm going to be taking work home with me this weekend so I can create a totally awesome presentation for next Tuesday. I hear the clock ticking and it's making me depressed. Finally, I still haven't met Michelle, but I'm not giving up hope.
