Oh My Gosh...

Okay so I am at the National Archives in Kew. I convinced this guy to let me see the originals, instead of microfilm, of Queen Elizabeth's translations of Boethius, Plutarch, and Horace. Well everyone has to first go through security. But when I get to the room, the guy takes me into a private room all by myself that is locked and unlocks the safe and gives me the documents. I can't leave the room unless I ring the buzzer and they come and unlock my door. This is one of the greatest days of my life! And they even let me take pictures, the British Library does not.
