Week 8: Almost There...

You know the transformation scene in The Princess Diaries? I'm understanding how Paolo feels right now.

Because only I can take this!

and this!

and give you...

a *princess*!

It's crazy to think how 20 bankers boxes could now turn into 40 archival boxes, and all it cost me was my sanity! But also, I feel so good about this! This feels like a huge accomplishment. Now I get to go through the process of adding everything to the ArchiveSpace document. My mentor is being very kind though and she's going to have another student worker go in and do some file labeling for me which will be nice.

Also, I spent a day working on my mini-zine because I was tired of processing. It seems necessary to find breaks throughout this or else you'll go a little crazy, so working on a different project that is also related was nice. It's extremely rewarding, but also very tedious. But I feel like the finish line is in sight! I may not finish within the quarter, but I'm willing to see this through.
