spirit of trees...offer to volunteer at one of those museums. you'll meet more people, develop new skills and who knows eventually might even get offered a job...museums are always looking for volunteers..always. usually you get discounts at the store there & food...and there can be either tons of interaction with people or none depending on what type of position you end up with. but it's always fun and interesting...and you meet a whole new community of people...plus there are usually access passes to other museums as well.
