The Fulton School
Today was crazy, like actually insane. I think I lost some sort of my brain and soul today. OK, it wasn’t that bad, but it was crazy. So, first I Tashi Duncan-ed myself, this is a “Challengers” reference meaning that I injured myself, BUT it was no where near the level of her injury in the film. So, basically, I decided I would go for a walk this morning and to make my walks harder I have been wearing wrist and ankle weights. Normally I do about 10-15 minutes, but today, I did 10 and felt like I could go longer, so I was nearing the end of the second 10 minutes, and I was getting pretty tired. Our driveway is all gravel and has a bit of a slope down where our mailbox meets Fiddle Creek, so I am not paying attention and step on a rock, “snap!” goes my ankle, I fall down, yelling an explicit. Then I go to sit down, and I take off the weights, I stop the music, and I see that not only have I twisted my right ankle, I have also ripped my favorite pair of leggings and badly scraped my knee causing me to yell another explicit! I limp back in and I thought my dad knew, but he was just peacefully watching television and had no idea! So, then I told my mom, she looked at it, and I cleaned it up. Then of course, as we are leaving it starts pouring rain. So, I take an umbrella, but I still get sopping wet! My ankle and knee are fine, but I do think the knee will leave a pretty nasty, gnarly Tashi Duncan esque scar. So, maybe in 15 years, I can obsessively rub lotion on my scarred knee while trying to wake up my husband who looks like Mike Faist at 5:30 in the morning so he can start pre-gaming for his tennis match! Just kidding, but if my husband looked even remotely like Mike Faist, I would let him sleep in anytime he wanted, like yeah, I wouldn’t want to wake up at 5:30 A.M. either, but ironically, today I did wake up at 5:30 A.M.!
I was hoping for a boring day after this mornings events. I did not get my wish (womp, womp). The clubhouse was incredibly packed for both museum babies and storytime. This is the fullest I have EVER seen it for just a regular day. Courtney read for both– head to toes for the babies and books about Jewish people and religion to celebrate Jewish Heritage Month. Afterwards, it was so noisy, my word. There must have been something in the air that day because Elena also fell down! We were sitting on a bench talking after storytime and she goes, “I just can’t take this level of noise today,” and I go “Me, too,” as children laugh, scream, and squeal in the background. Afterwards, I attended a K-12 and Early Childhood meeting where we talked about events for the summer. Then Maria walked me and the K-12 team through this program called “Curator For A Day,” where kids get to learn more about the jobs of curators, conservators, and designers in museums. The program was really cool and she just had us run through it like we were a kids group in the World’s Fair Gallery. At one point, we were supposed to grade the conservators on how they were preserving an artifact. I was in a group with Andy and Ryan, who are both VERY funny. The artifact we had was a lion’s head, which was supposed to be on a flat surface for display, but was propped up some so we were all questioning if it was being preserved correctly. We are writing down a letter grade for it and Ryan turns his paper and he gave it an “F” (it was a joke) and I started laughing so hard. And then I was like, “Andy, what did you give it?” and he gave it an “A” and I was like, “Oh my god, and I thought a “B+” was harsh”.
I also worked on my senior project slideshow presentation for Friday today and I am almost finished. Today, I also found out I got into the Gleich Honors College at Webster. This is really cool because, and I did not know this when I applied, only 15 freshman are admitted, which is 3% of the freshman class, so it is quite exclusive to get in. They said they were impressed with my “originality, creativity, and thoughtfulness” for each of my answers! Stay tuned for what will probably be my final post tomorrow!
