Our new bookcase was built well during the weekends. Today the curator got quite excited; she has been waiting for this new shelve for such a long time. The office was so quiet as usual, but the outside raining frightened me, for I have never seen such a rain in winter before coming this country.
Time passed so quickly, and my internship is nearly the end (a little sad indeed), but I think my last intern task would make me have no time to contemplate too much.I hope I can arrange all the books in perfect order in this large and new bookcase. I feel this was a hard work but I suppose only me can do this well. I am a person who has a bit OCD and always want anything to be tidy and clean :) You may consider this a joke...but I still remember I used to spent about 10 minutes to tidy up my schoolbag every night before going bed. In all of my courses, I like conservation most and during intern I am fascinated by doing registration (and I like to annoy the registrar). I love the order and detail, and also I love books deeply. So, I guess and hope that I can make this library.
I don't know how many books we get now but they are substantial. Finding the oder is an excellent goal but the process isn't pleasant. Arranging them in the oder of surname is key, and when the two persons get the same surname I need to arrange the oder according to the next letter. Fortunately, I ve practiced this from mail filing, although the work load is huge. The curator ran away before five pm, whilst I finished arranging the case of aboriginal art, but unfortunately, a large number of other monographs turned up again after I though I ve already finished that part. Oh, Lord, help me...
