afternoon meetings

This afternnon I had a meeting with Brian W from the University - I wanted a few answers about how to get my degrees into a kind of equivalent status. I've known Brian before - he's helped me by giving me access to the university's English department library when I was doing my distance learning M.A in Eng Literature with the Open University. We had to meet in a local coffee shop because he says that his office is not accessible at present. Brian is also the university's contact for disabled students. However he told me that getting an equivalence is only useful if I wanted to go for further studies. I cannot get my degrees recognised here. Oh well! We also discussed about jobs at the university and the possibility of my pursuing a Ph.d . Really I do not see what it serves - unless I want to teach and there are so few jobs available.
My next meeting was at the Museum of Modern Art inStrasbourg. I met Eric who is doing a sort of training for services for special populations. We had a great chat and he wants me to meet the communication department people to discuss about their websites. Eric works for the education and public services. They have a lot of events/activities going but they are not well publicized or the information about them is just not widely available. He would like them to showcase more and especially for those with vision problems. It is not his priority but he's glad someone came from the exterior to point at that and he can perhaps use it as an opportunity to achieve a better web presence for their work.

It was a lucky coincidence that that evening happened to be an inaguration of a new exhibition at the museum. It is James Lee Byar's " Life, Love and Death" . One of the most interesting exhibits is a red sphere made entirely of red roses - more than 3,000 of them.
