First time visiting the Getty Villa yesterday was pretty cool.

“Same.”-my fiancee seeing this figure:

They also had a temporary Egyptian exhibit! There until 2027.

Overall great way to kick off my spring break/birthday season!

2-3/100 and Day 1 of tranquilstudy autumn study challenge

Today my goal is to rewrite 3 more pages for my thesis and plan posts for my film account. I was too exhausted to post yesterday because we went to the recently opened Art and Sculpture museum and it was too much to be out that long.

For yesterday's #tranquilstudy:

I'm Merve and in my last term of Film MA Studies, meaning I have to finish my Film thesis before Jan/Feb. It's been a year of decisions and saying goodbye to the unnecessary stuff in my life like my old insta account. After reassessing everything, decided to let go of everything that was not adding so much to my life and restarted from fresh. I saw this challenge a few days ago and I thought it'd be fun to study journal here to make a more fun DoP challenge as well.

For today's #tranquilstudy:

The last book I finished is The Vegetarian, which was my 100th read book of 2022. There was something odd this week, I finished around 4 books in a few days right before sleeping. I've not read this much in one week when I was on bookstagram, so I suppose that's a good sign for just "reading" and seeing the words without the stress of "trying" to analyze because I already do that in my head having studied English Literature. I suppose this post is for "letting mentally damaging things go".

I went to MOTAT (Museum of Transport and Technology in Auckland) to look at the planes yesterday. Lots of planes. One of the most important aviation collections in the southern hemisphere.

My only wish is that I took better pictures, but I couldn't focus on picture quality when I was too distracted by the planes themselves. Also there were notes I wanted to write down for writing research so unfortunately got a bit of a migraine. I'll post more pictures on my twt when I log in.

Also look, I got a cute pilot bear and pretty postcards. I bought them while the two staff girls were debating what to do with a lost baby bird that might have come from the zoo next door.

The souvenir ticket was free from the tram ride, it's extremely nostalgic to look at it since I came here years ago when I was little. It's just a shame the science and technology hall was closed.

Fireflies - ChaeNnie

"Rosie and Jennie had an outing to the museum, there was a special tour for kids and they went to it. Rosie was ecstatic about it and was running all around watching everything, also trying to participate in all the activities. Something that made the day even more special was that the guide called her Princess, Mama bought her a new night light and a new plush friend."

word count ─ 1.1k

tags ─ little rosie, mama jennie, museum trip, princess, rosie loves when people call her princess, also she loves being her mama's angel, when she goes out and there are interactive things she loves doing them

notes ─ This is for the Pet names & Nightlight prompt, enjoy :D

Going to a kids' exposition hosted by the museum hadn't been what Jennie had planned for the day. Nevertheless, here she was tailing a 1.68-meter-tall toddler running all around the exhibition hall trying to look at everything that was displayed.

Rosie had come to Jennie early in the morning telling her all about this amazing place she had seen while scrolling through Instagram, after telling the toddler off for getting into social media she proceeded to look into what Rosie had seen. 

After spending a couple of minutes analyzing the post she found that it was an interactive exhibition hosted by the Seodaemun Museum of Natural History, aimed at kids from toddler age to early teens, of course, all the family members could enter but the activities were more on the mild side so the little ones could interact better with it.

Before agreeing to take her, Jennie made a quick call to the activities coordinator and asked if Rosie could enter, just like she had already read they told her that persons of all ages were welcome. Of course, Jennie knew this but she wanted to know if Littles could participate in the activities with the guide, she let the coordinator know this and was told that she indeed could but it was a special scheduled time.

Jen was a little upset thinking that they were segregating their community, but she was quickly told that wasn't the case and that it was just so that all the kids would have a better experience based on their age. They said the Littles were welcome at any time but that the time they had told her was an all-regressors guided tour since some activities got props and crafts that could be worn, and they needed to be bigger for the Littles.

Happy with the explanation she told Rosie that they were going to the museum that afternoon, with that exciting news Rosie went to her room to plan what she was wearing for their outing, and she settled on a brown tee and white flowery dress set that was gifted to her by Mama's eomma.

Jennie also got dressed before preparing Rosie's backpack for her outing, packing some Pull-Ups in case they were needed, some juice boxes, bags of snacks, a couple of empty sippy cups, a change of clothes, a package of wet wipes, a bib since Rosie eats very messily, and a pacifier with its clip inside a plastic bag to keep it clean.

When both were ready she called the toddler over, to help her get into her shoes, on their way out she grabbed sweaters for both of them in case the day got more chilly, once at the car she buckled Rosie into her car seat and put on some music to keep the mood on their trip. Not even 10 minutes into the car ride Rosie fell asleep, letting out soft snores that made Jen chuckle at the cuteness, it took another 30 minutes to reach their destination.

Parking the car Jennie made her way to unbuckle the toddler, shaking her gently to wake her up, "Cheonsa it's time to wake up. We've arrived at the museum" quietly said the elder quietly to not scare the toddler. Stretching to get rid of the sleep Rosie got out of the car and took Mama's hand, the sleep didn't fully go away until she saw the guide that was giving all the kids a cardboard crown.

Tugging at her Mama’s hand to get her attention, "Mama! Mama! Look the crowns, me wanna one. Can we get one p'ease!" Rosie yelled showing her puppy eyes, giggling at the cuteness Jennie gave her permission to go ask for one once they have their wristbands on.

Once she was given the green light, Rosie ran towards the guide and stood in front of all the children waiting to be noticed, she stood there gathering the confidence to ask for the crown, when she heard "Omo!! Gongjunim, would you like a crown?" asked the guide and helped her put on her crown, when she had the crown on the guide told her "You're neomu yeppeuda!".

Soon the tour started, it was Rosie and about 12 more kids with their caregivers, the guide at all times directed their explanations to the kids letting them participate as much as possible. 20 minutes into the tour they arrived at an interactive pavilion, all the kids were excited at being able to touch everything that was surrounding them and Rosie was between them running all around trying to watch and touch everything.

That’s how Jennie found herself running behind the toddler, yelling after her to get her to stay in the elder’s range of vision, “Rosie lamb! Please don’t run, Mama needs to see you at all times!!”, but it seemed that Rosie wasn't paying attention to anything other than getting in on the fun with the rest of the kids.

“They seemed hypnotized, my snookums could never" exclaimed one of the other caregivers, which kid was the most crazy one, Jennie couldn't say the same, she knew her kid was wild everyday, some caregivers agreed with her. The kids finally stopped when the guide called for them, and that's how the rest of the tour proceeded going to the normal exhibition and finishing at the exterior pavilion where they made different crafts, one of them butterfly wings.

Of course the exit was through the gift shop, as soon as they stepped into it Rosie went wild browsing through all the shelves, the toddler was kin on getting everything that she set eyes on. "Nabi, we can't get everything. You can get only one thing, ok?" said Jennie getting next to the little girl.

"Mama! Mama! Can me get this!? P'ease!!" asked the toddler girl holding a nightlight, Jennie said yes and let her get another thing from the store, Rosie choose a otter plush and went to the counter to pay for the things.

-

By the time they arrived home Rosie had fallen asleep, “Cheonsa, we’ve arrived let's get you inside and ready for bed" mentioned Jennie leading the toddler girl inside the house, she gave the girl a quick bath and dressed her into pajamas.

Jennie tucked Rosie in and turned off the lights ready to let the girl rest when she heard her tiny voice, "Mama, night light, please" the toddler asked for. Jennie went back into the room and opened the box where the night light was, it was shaped like a jar with fireflies inside it.

Once the light was on, Jennie placed it next to the bed and finally left the room, not before planting a kiss on the toddler's forehead and whispering "Sweet dreams nae byeol-ah".

I had a nice trip to the city Middelburg.

Me and my mom went to the Zeeuwse Museum.

It's a museum dedicated to the province of Zeeland

[nyahkmenrah]

Ahkmenrah fictive goes to to the Egyptian exhibit!

With real mummies, sarcophagi and various other artefacts. It was good! I like the ominous Nut just looming over us all. Would definitely go again.

Exomemories and exonostalgia are very real and very odd to experience sometimes. Things felt very familiar yet so foreign at the same time. Maybe it’s because this isn’t MY museum. It’d be fun to gather up a bunch of NATM fictive and take a museum trip together one day.

Also spent way too much money on trinkets at the gift shop lol.

Also the kid that went “math existed back then?!” Made me snicker.

“It is is better to know one book intimately than a hundred superficially.” ― Donna Tartt, The Secret History This day when I went to a museum with my family allowed me to live my Dark Academia Dream in this lavish mansion embellished with pre-19th century art, furniture and ornaments. Could have been easily a The Secret History in Istanbul setup.
