Mom and I went out from 5 Skidmore Place and arrived at the ULAE building at 8:00 AM. Turns out that this was way early, but hey! Better early than late. Usually, work starts at 8:30 AM. Just FYI.
Anyway, that was where I met Noelle, and she kindly showed me and my mom around. Noelle helps out with a lot of the printing at the ULAE. The thing about Noelle is that she knows everything that's going on, and she's super-nice about it, so whenever I need something to do I go find her.
After that, I met Marie, and we made coffee. Marie also knows everything, and she's also really nice. At the end of the day, she gave me her number in case I got in trouble.
I was immediately put to work on the Rauschenberg Lotus series with Jason, a printer. These are digital prints that are later soaked and run through an intaglio printing press. They're huuuge. I like the imagery on these. I think even if I didn't like the imagery, I eventually would, because I have to look at it over and over and over again. Oh man. I could write five essays about the Lotus series by the time they're fully printed.
Oh! And Jason's really cool. Every time I ask a question, I not only get an answer, but also details and a little history. And I ask a lot of questions, I think, so it's really good of him to explain everything so well.
I also made friends with the staple gun, despite its LOUDNESS AAARGH, and hope to get faster at it so I can help out more.
Mom made peanut butter cookies as a good-luck gift. There's more dough in the freezer, too, so I can bake a few myself. Aww, thanks Mom.

Lotus 7 and Lotus 4 are my favorites. Tell everyone I say Hello!
Mom's peanut butter cookies are pretty good, I've got to say you've got excellent taste in cookies. And that's great that you're already making friends so early on! I want to meet this staple gun at some point.
