school's back in session. I had my first ever conference call for a class. It was not too difficult to discuss. Although it was mostly the teacher asking for introductions and explaining the syllabus. I have much more work to do for this class. More than I can think of now. Goodbye weekends...

Back at the library today. Another week where I'm here six days. It's actually relaxing to be here, but not working. I forgot how much I enjoy people-watching, relaxing and scouring books. That is the downfall of working in a library. You forget why you fell in love with it.

I'd like to make an estimate that I'll be done with my project by the time the library closes, but I just don't see it happening. I really don't want to miss yoga tomorrow night to work on this, but I'm so exhausted from camping.

Alright, I'm getting back to work now...

I'm working on my final project for my last class for this semester. I really wanted to be done before I left work this afternoon so I wouldn't have to come back from my mini vacation to homework. But this is the price one pays for procrastination.

Procrastination that gets me into the library even before it's open to work on homework. I am here at my place of employment before we've opened the doors to the public to peruse reference resources. Thrilling.

Actually, it's quite helpful. I am learning a lot. But mostly just about art resources since that's the library I chose to base my essential reference source collection around.

That has made things tricky. I had to make a special trip to a library which is a half an hour from my house to peruse their reference collection.

I was appalled that they didn't allow food or drink or cell phones in their library. Before you think that I violated all those rules. I did not. I asked. So much for making the library a comforting place for students and people in general. No wonder no one was hanging out there. I wouldn't want to be there either if I couldn't chill.

Guess I know how I'd run the library if I was in charge, but, oh, I didn't get that job, now did I? Bitter?

I'm probably a little testy now because it's Friday morning before 9 a.m. I'd rather be in bed asleep.

And I should be working on this project instead of blogging. Bye!

I had class this past weekend. I didn't spend much time paying attention, although I probably should have. It was print resources so...I've done that job for five years already. I think I know a lot. I'm not saying I know it all, but... The weather was nice. I was mentally checking out.

We visited the library I worked on Saturday so I visited the library six days last week. Not the first time.

I was part of a group that did a presentation. I spontaneously started the presentation with a cheer which the teacher liked. Woo hoo.

I still haven't started the last project which is due this coming Monday. We're posting to a wiki which I've never done before, but looks interesting.

Here's to the finish of the semester!!!
