The semester begins

Published on January 5, 2009

My first class of the spring semester happens today. It is not 12pm-3pm, as I had mistakenly remembered, but 3pm-6pm. (So, in order to leave myself one weekday for doing homework, I think I may move my internship hours from Tuesdays to Mondays.) I have a cold and am considering…

One down, two-ish to go

Published on December 29, 2008

I’ve started a few posts in my head, but only today did I realize that I didn’t, you know, post any of them. It turned out that I didn’t have the kind of down-time I expected to have during the break: classes (and projects) ran until the 11th, work kept…

Next Semester – It'll be a crazy ride!

Published on December 6, 2008

I made a schedule change, folks. See, my backup plan, should I end up hating academia in five years (look, I know I would like to be some flavor of academic librarian, certainly, but I’m also aware that I have yet to fight my way through real-life academic politics; Masters…

Further Musings

I feel like I was unnecessarily harsh in my post yesterday. Looking at it, there’s nothing I consider untrue or really feel a need to change, but the whole thing kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think what bothers me is that I came off sounding…

Shameless Procrastination – and my schedule

Published on September 21, 2008

It occurs to me that I never posted my schedule. It also occurs to me that, by doing so now, I am pretty much forcing it to change. I’m OK with that. Monday – In Oakland 12-6. Homework for Tuesday thereafter. Tuesday – In Oakland 10-3 and 6-9, usually doing…

First Day of School

Published on August 25, 2008

I used to love the first day of school, as a kid. Not really the second day or onward, mind, but the first was always pretty fun. There I was, with some brand new school gear, meeting up with a bunch of people I hadn’t seen since the end of…

Ends and beginnings

I’ve changed around my class schedule. I think it’s pretty solid, though I may still want to change sections for one class.Â LIS 2000: Understanding Information LIS 2001: Organizing InformationLIS 2670: Digital LibrariesÂ LIS 2700: Managing Libraries (the real name is longer) You’ll notice there are only four classes there. I…

Less than a month!

Published on July 28, 2008

A month from today, I’ll be completing my first week of school. Assuming my schedule doesn’t change when I meet with my advisor, Thursday is going to be my roughest day–actually, you could say it’ll be my only regularly scheduled rough day–with six straight hours of class. This seems unavoidable,…
