Summer days

So I've probably told some of you about my new summer job. Perhaps some of you I have not. Earlier in the semester I was hired on as a graduate assistant at the East Texas Research Center for the summer. So, you're wondering exactly what that entails, right? Well here's what it entails. For the summer I will be doing research for History Day 2009. (ZOMG - Real research people with USE?!?!?!) I hardly know what to do with myself. So basically, I get paid to dig through collections here in the archives and put together topic ideas for students who might be interested in competing in the regional history day competition. It's so exciting! It's like getting paid to treasure hunt. Or, well. Sort of. I'll also be putting together some exhibits with my researched material at some point. This is seriously the most fun job I've ever had. I love it. Do I really get paid for this?
