Finally, last day of orientation! We had more to do today thank goodness. We had training in the LOC website and database, then lunch. I had a burrito at a burrito place on Pensylvania Ave, which they promised was frequented by many Texans and Californians. I was not impressed, so those people must have been out of the state for too long.
Anyway, then we went on a tour of the Jefferson building, which is onw of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen. And I get to work there everyday! It is full of ornate decoration, but the best part is almost every single decoration is symbolic, related in some way to knowledge, information, or books. I love that place! Also, discovered a reason to have to like Jerry Jones. Gag! He actually donated a significant amount to the recreation of the Thomas Jefferson library collection. So now I can't thoroughly despise him :(
Last was a chance to actually go to where our internships would be. We were supposed to be picked up by our supervisors, but mine didn't show, so I had to be taken by the program director. So, first experience seeing the Young Reader's Center. It's a very warm, nice place with fewer books than I expected. I pretty much got a quick overview of the place, then went home. More details the next time.
