Weeknotes: 2/4/24-2/10/24

This Week:

• Hartwick’s semester started back up again. Lots of generaly orientation for work study, getting up to speed with student projects, and more “out of the gate” things.
• I’m teaching Collections management with a great and enthusiastic crew, and I’m excited about the projects we are going to tackle this semester.
• We did our taxes, making use of Hartwick’s wonderful VITA tax program.
• Hazel and I finished reading “Ramona Forever” by Beverly Cleary. It was definitely more mature book than the previous Ramona books. My five year old had lots of questions about childbirth, pet death, and marriage.
• I did a lot of repatriation work this week, finishing a research memo on a cultural object and then filing notice of intent to repatriate, which will hopefully be published in the next few weeks.
• I did some work getting ready for our Winter break programs, which will be in partnership with Hanford Mills Museum, and will be themed around the “World of Water”.
