WEDNESDAY -- The library was quiet this night. I spent most of my free time cutting paper for pizza rounds to be pasted on the paper aprons we give to the HeadStart kids (arts & crafts). It was Arpine, Daisy and I manning the reference desk. Inertia boy approached me tonight to show me his poem with the 100% mark from the teacher. It was heartwarming to know that he was looking for me earlier in the afternoon and when he finally saw me at 5pm, he came to the desk to show me.
I need to finish working on the pathfinder for California Native Americans but I need computer time to get pictures of the books and their descriptions. This is a project I want to finish before my time as the intern is over. As each day passes by, my heart grows heavier when I think of my time as an intern trickling like grains of sand in an hour-glass. I know that despite the fatigue of working 12-14 hour days, I will miss this internship sorely.
Today, Ms. Daisy brought me a book about the Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly. I saw a doll sitting behind me at the reference desk and it was a ghastly looking doll. I wondered out loud who or what the doll was supposed to be. Ms. Daisy pointed out that it was the Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly. Being born and raised in the Philippines, I was not familiar with the Old Lady. This is an area in children's literature that I need to hash up on. Although I am familiar with the usual fairy tales and Mother Goose rhymes, there are still a lot of the classics I am not familiar with. Note to self: browse through the collection and read up on the classics.
