I want to be a Museum Curator

I'm feeling sick today. I worked a lot over the weekend, doing 19 hours all up [which is unusual for me these days but great as I don't have any other income], but am feeling the effects of it today. I couldn't get out of bed until I made myself at 1215 today. I was planning to go to the gym but I seem to have misplaced my shoes and pants that I workout in. They could be in the gym somewhere as I might have left them in my locker, but I can't quite remember what I did with them. I will go by there tomorrow and suss the situation out. I want to go for a walk again today. I went on Saturday and it was great. I walked to telegraph pole 94A and jogged half of the way down. I'm going to try and do that most days each week.

In other news, I have decided I want to be a Museum Curator. I will do the Graduate Certificate in Museum Studies and follow that with the diploma and the masters if it all works out. It's nice having this to think about. I was looking over internet sites on Saturday and there was an interview with someone in this job and she said to do an internship or volunteer so you can see all the different areas. If I don't come back from the UK for a few years then I'll do the course over there. How great to go to a University in the UK! They will have better museums to work in anyway. It will be fabulous. If I come back earlier I will go to Melbourne probably. The Sydney Uni looks so wonderful that I'd rather go there but Melbourne is closer to home. I know three people in Melbourne, and only one in Sydney [Tim from thebeach who I'm not that close with], but it would be nice to have an adventure to somewhere new. It also might be best if I go somewhere where I know people. Making new friends can be hard. Doing in the UK might be preferable. I'd love to stay for ages and really get to know the country and spend time with my family. Hopefully I find my husband over there and have even more reason to stay. I should look up UK Museum Studies courses today.

The course in Sydney looks great. The website is so detailed and it sounds perfect. They have mandatory internships and everything is set out so well. I should look at the Melbourne courses though. After a bit of research, UK Universities need students to have done Honours [in the case of one University at least] so I suspect the bar will be higher. Australia has good programs so I will be fine studying here. I don't think Melbourne would get me a Masters degree if I wanted though, so it might have to be Sydney! I have lots of time to think it over though. I'll find other options as well to peruse.

Yorick and I will be having lunch sometime this week or next I think. I want to talk to him about how I don't like that things are weird between us, how things are so different, and stuff to do with not being able to talk to each other about what we're feeling. That is reserved for our friends. Why is that? I just want to be open with him and see where that gets us. I don't like the weirdness.

I'm going to try and go for a walk today as I didn't make it to the gym. Sarah is coming down and we'll watch a movie. James and George will be here for dinner too. I can't wait till the baby arrives!
