Day Three

Another short post!  I didn't realize the time, I was using my new water colors, and once again I need to head to bed at a decent hour.  Day Three was great!  I made it to the bus on time, was able to stop at the corner before the museum, and I read a little before I was able to go inside the NRC.  I identified more bee flies, with the help of X.  X is very helpful and I'm grateful that he'll spend some time going over the key with me and showing me some fly anatomy I still haven't figured out. I talked to some kids today who were looking at me work.  I'm used to having people stare at me in lab while I'm working (my lab at school also has glass walls).  What I'm not used to is having people interested in what I'm doing.  I explained what I was doing, told them a little bit about bee flies, and then I went back inside.  I love what I'm doing, but I wish I had time to go and explore the NRC/museum more.  I will definitely go this weekend to take pictures and maybe draw some animals to paint.  Hopefully the butterfly room on the fourth floor will be open, because there's also a sloth in there (apparently).  There's also a dinosaur in motion exhibit which I will definitely try to buy a ticket for.  I love dinosaurs, even though I was terrified of them for awhile (I'm looking at you Jurassic Park books). Enough rambling about my desire of exploration and dinosaurs and sloths, I need to shower and get to bed.  And as a parting note, I made the bus back to my apartment today!  Gold star for me.
