This morning I had a job interview at the Fogg Museum-- one of Harvard's three on-campus Art museums. It sounds like a good fit! If I take the position, I'll be facilitating some really fun public programing (a "drop-in" figure drawing class outside in Harvard Square) and helping with children's art classes. After the interview, I explored the museum. WOW. Amazing! A bit overwhelming, really. Monet, Picasso, Rodin, Renoir, Bernini, Whistler, Ingres, Sargent, etc. And etc.! I just don't think I was prepared for all that culture in one shot.

Later, I walked around campus for the first time. It's bustling! I had lunch at the Harvard Coop bookstore and there were all these stundents walking around followed by their parents, who were toting huge bags of books, etc. The buildings in the square are pretty 'venerable' looking! There's one with something to the effect of, "WHO IS MAN THAT THOU PAYS ANY ATTENTION TO HIM?" written in enormous stone-carved letters above three-story tall pillars... Shew! That and the whole public transportation issue (which I've got to figure it out by tonight to hear some bluegrass music) are the only 2 intimidating things I've encountered. Am looking forward to things actually beginning on Monday!
