Some good things:
+ The weather! Oh my God, I was actually sweating. And the ceiling fan is on with all the windows open.
+ Frank is getting back from another 24 hour mad dash to Boston for work.
+ Going to Newport on Friday with clasmates who are participate in the Newport Student Forum (they're second year students). The mini-symposium is
going to be in Rosecliff and we get a private tour of Kingscote. I've never been to Newport and I hope it doesn't rain (which I think is the forecast)
+ Met with Phyllis Magidson yesterday. She's the curator of the costume collection at the Museum of the City of New York. She's letting me intern with
her over the summer. I'll be helping one of the men who wrote the Halston book, photograph things, among other things. Phyllis knows everyone.
Connections. Must work on professional social skills. Oof, it takes effort.
+ Just got notified that I am receiving a grant to attend the Costume Society of America's symposium in Philly in May. Staying at the Four Seasons. This
year's topic is the issue of dress scholarship - its past and its future. More connections. I knew there was a reason for getting 96lb calling cards made.
Woot.
