Practicum in the time of COVID

I got all my equipment today! I will be starting this weekend making the finding aid for the Covid Collection the VA has. I will be updating the blog every Sunday! Here's a picture of my technology so I can now get to work! 

After a couple of hurricanes and a false start or two, I finally got access to my VA email for the practicum. That's important because in order for me to get the notice that my equipment is ready, I need access to that email. Success! The archivist is now on the phone with IT to figure out why my equipment was canceled because they didn't have a particular monitor that I didn't even ask for. I'm getting a laptop. 🤷‍♀️ So another little snag here but hopefully I will have my equipment by Friday and can work this weekend on some things.  Here's a picture of my to do list and notes taken while on the phone and waiting for software to work! (Properly redacted to protect the innocent, of course.)
