Adventure is out there!

So,this past week was really awesome.I explored Georgetown on Sunday,bought a pair of red TOMS,had my water bottle explode inside my bag and now my camera is sitting inside of a bag of rice,hopefully it will dry out and I will get another year and a half of use out of it before I have to buy another one.I love my camera,and I have to have it in order to take sweet pictures of all the great things I am working on at the Smithsonian.
What did I do this week at the Smithsonian you might ask?
Well,what did'nt I do is the better question.
I started off the week painting with Walter.The first time I was introduced to Walter he was sitting at his desk,and when I started working with him, I realized that he was the tallest man in the world.Literally.The guy is freaking huge, and a blast to work with.He has a real hands-off teaching style,so I got to dive right into the world of paint guns,started painting cases as soon as I walked in his door.I spent the majority of the week with him,my final day in the shop, I helped build 'chinampas' for the 2010 Smithsonian Folklife Festival,pretty cool and I can't wait to see them at the festival.
This past Thursday was the 'Smithsonian Intern Ice Cream Social'!
What a big let down.I started off my day early and went to the Hirshhorn Gallery and enjoyed a great exhibit by Yves Klien,and walked over to the National Postal Museum to meet and mingle with other interns, and get free ice cream!!
I was very disappointed when I got my two-bite sample size cup of ice cream,and hardly talked to other interns,it was very much so the lamest ice cream social ever.Then again,when is an ice cream social, not lame,well I guess when you actually have delicious ice cream.
I solved my ice cream situation later that afternoon as I found a Fro-Yo on my way to my metro stop.
The Postal Museum I highly recommend though,rather small, but actually very cool.This weekend so far has been uneventful, I was hoping to get together with my OEC interns and get into shenanigans and tomfoolery, but none of them seem too interested in either.
LAME.
I need friends in DC,so I don't spend my Saturday afternoons blogging about my life.
Hopefully Toy Story 3 will be in my life this weekend,I am debating on exploring Eastern Market or the National Zoo tomorrow.We will see what happens.
