So many of you know that I work as a Docent at the Field Museum in Chicago. I absolutely love this job. Even though I don't get paid, the amount of information that I have access to is unfathomable. As an educator, I can use this to my advantage. Whether it be preparing my kids for field trip, or using what I have learned there to start a lesson in my classroom, it is this kind of job that defines a person. I know that the econonmy is stinky, and that it is hard as hell to find a job, but I am rich with knowlege. One day who knows maybe I will write a book.
I am reading Tyranasaurus Sue. It is fantastic! Much of the information in this book, I have already learned about while training/studying for my docent test on Sue. Sue is the most complete T-rex ever found in the United States. None of the other t-rrex's found come close to her completeness. Having been found in 1990, and then put on display in 2000, one can imagine that her in her ten year hiatus, there was much controversy. This book explains the leagal battle over he bones. It is an excellent read!
