What I learned...
My first day at the Page Musuem:
1. Microfossils are really small, and they get smaller as the day wears on.*
2. When someone gives you 1/4 of a cup of matrix (dirt) and says, "Try to finish by 5", they're serious. (I didn't.)
3. There is such a thing as "smart asphalt" and "clever quartz", and I hate them.
4. We hate LACMA. When they put a skeleton in a glass box, thousands of people try to buy presale tickets to see it. When we put hundreds of skeletons in boxes, only schools will come.
5. A mouse incisor can be your most exciting find of the day, and you can be happy anyway.
6. Commonest is a real word in the English language. Take that Miss Alegria.
7. Emergency Exits are never actually armed. Just push them open and act like you know where you're going.
*This is literally true. Humans subconsciously pick out larger or more recognizable rocks, so by 4pm I had tiny flakes in varying shades of black, brown and grey, a headache, and very tired eyes.
