june 6 -- WSF fair

it was absolutely crazy today. i signed up to volunteer for the world science festival street fair and it was held in the area around washington square park. for about an hour, another volunteer (deena?) and i walked around the fair passing out NASA stickers and directing people to their tent. it was fun. but the stickers soon ran out and we got reassigned to manage the staircase in the kimmel center. OMG it was crazy. it wasn't the people or kids. it was the security and building manager. i understand you want orderly, but these are kids and i cant discipline other people's children. i spent 4 hours directing traffic and describing the events happening in the building. my feet are soo tired. the woman who was also doing stair duty (albie?) was absolutely hilarious. she's a riot. and the information desk staff (jami and another woman) were saints. the fair was a lot of fun. i didnt get to participate much, but i met some really wonderful people.

june 5 -- my bad

i was soo tired yesterday i didn't blog anything. i got an email from ruth kneale, who is my conference buddy at SLA! she sent me a quick short email and i think i wrote her a book. haha...

i spent much of the day yesterday at the James Webb Telescope in Battery Park. i was volunteering and got to talk to the scientists and engineers working on the project. there's a 1-1 scale model and a smaller model on display. there's even a model of the rocket they're going to send it up in. i met some really cool scientists who work with Hubble. i was gonna go back for star gazing

salsa dancing last night. really tough. i have no idea what to do with my arms lol. i'm more worried about my footwork. we were doing left turn and right turn. i'm like off beat. need more practice...

this afternoon, we tried to get standby tickets to another WSF event, but they were sold out. boo... now i'm hungry. foodtime!
