At this stage in my research I have been to so many exhibits and museums that I struggle to name them at at seven in the morning local time. I am beginning to be able to see the very DNA of museums. Even the places that I have gone to for fun have been analyzed in some way. After seeing so much and taking in so many pieces of evidence, it can become overwhelming.
Fortunately, I have learned over the years that at some point you have to take a break. This weekend I was able to fulfill a wish and visit Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester. It was a very nerdy and fun day out that happened at just the right time. I was able to forget my work and my project for a bit. Now as a new week begins, I can see things from a fresh perspective. I actually started the week early by traveling out to Boston Manor House on Sunday. However, I could feel that the break had rejuvenated my ability to work and to think clearly.
The next step is a massive offload of information in the next few days. I have to go through notes and reflections that I have already written. I will analyze what information I have and seek to understand what I am missing. I plan to post most of my evaluations on the website during this time and begin to move towards drafting a Master's Thesis Proposal next week. It is insane to think that I have around ten days left here. It has all gone by so quickly. I would like for it to slow down, but at the same time, I can't wait for what is next.
