After having been sick all of last week, first it was womenly monthly things … and then of all things my arthritis started a rather vicious attack on my legs. If there is one thing I have never appreciated is rather vicious attacks on my legs - shoulders, chest, arms, hands, back even neck I can all handle! - but my legs it’s simply the worst thing and it leaves you so helpless.I didn’t start this blog to have a place to complain about my being ill and I don’t generally talk about being ill anymore both because it gives my lovely BF the heebie jeebies and it could easily give somebody else out there the heebie jeebies but also because I have more going on in my life then being ill and like every other (trust me on this!) I am not my disease/ disability and I never want to be. So after being ms. Gimpy and Ms. No I can’t put any weight on my ankles for about 4 days, sitting in bed staring or having been helped out on the couch and sitting and staring there, I haven’t done much on my exam paper that’s due in a week! Even if I have done parts of it already and have found some of the literature we have to find in connection with this paper I have begun to doubt my ability to finish the paper - especially after having all of last week - before the deadline.

So this week while it should be dedicated to just doing my paper I’m constantly distracted by either my bad work ethic, come on I am updating this blog instead of writing about cultural heritage and digital communication, or BF wanting something or something as simple as I still have a THOUSAND classes a day!

In other uni/ museology news I have finally secured an internship! I will be interning in March, April and May at Danish museum for Industry in Horsens where I will be working with development on an app for the museum and user surveys. If I get that done quickly I am also part of putting together a new exhibition on robots together and make something interactive for children about the exhibition.  So I am looking forward to seeing how that will all be. I am hoping that I will be able to stay awake and work a 37-hour week because the projects they have lined up for me all sound super exciting!

For something not uni related - my wonderful boyfriend bought me flowers a couple of weeks ago when I was super stressed and he was out of town. So when he came home he brought me a bouquet of purple tulips - the prettiest like ever! Me being me I put them in the purple vase I have - which is super groovy actually. Also I decided to take a bunch of photos of them just before I threw them out cause sadly flowers don’t last forever but I love the photos I got - and I will definitely try to make something of them - hopefully soon!
