81 -feature I Volume- 45 Issue 10 Diary of a Dali intern Brittany Long The new Dali Museum, designed by renowned architect Yann Weymouth, opened Jan. 12, 2011 .- Contributing Writer ·

"Infanta, Infanta." I am repeating this in my head as I run. I look down at my heels and give piyself a si­ lent pat cin the back for making such a good shoe choice for the night. I am also looking down because I am running, in heels, on car­ pet. I am prone to imagining events before they happen and in this sequence I see my heels sna'gging on the carpet, my body flying through the ait, only to land sprawled out on the rough terrain. "Infanta," I repeat. . This is the first time since beginning at the Dali Museum that I have felt like a fran­ tic intern: My goal at the moment is to make it to the computer to type up a name card for a very important event, for a very important (and forgotten) person, on a program I have never used. And with all my infinite com­ puter knowledge, I still do not know how to make the squiggly line over the "n". (It's ALT 164 in case you're ever in-need of the elusive squiggly-lined "n".)
