New Vocab: Woolworth's-an old-time downtown eatery for lunches and quick meals that was especially popular in the early to mid-20th Century. Suite-ordered set of instrumental or orchestral pieces normally performed in a concert setting rather than as accompaniment.
This week has been very relaxed and I feel like I'm starting to become a part of the swing of things at WILL. All I've been doing is transcribing interviews and even those are becoming easier and I can complete them quicker. This week it only took me two days to finish an interview of Erma Bridgewater, a notable figure in Champaign history. She's currently NINETY-SEVEN and on the interview she stated that on her 95th birthday she swam a mile. It's just so interesting to hear her personal experiences of growing up here before all of the things we see in Champaign today. I can't imagine living to be that old but still have all the physical and mental stability that she has. My sponsor Kimberlie was gone this week, but Henry Radcliffe, who's been there the most since I've been at WILL is a great friend and it's nice to have someone around.
