HELLO WORLD

My title makes me reminiscent of my first semester in grad school. Computer foundations and php:( i do not miss that time, but still I will never see the simple words Hello world without thinking about my brief and unsuccessful stint at code writing. Short as it was it instilled a deep dislike to anything that requires .
It is a new semester, my final semester on the journey that is my LIS education. I must say that the semester is starting with a bang. In the course of a week, my IRB application for my research project and my classes have started at the same time. I also had the unlucky fate to dawdle too much during class so i am stuck with the first presentation of the year.....I should be freaking out. I dont think it really has set in though. I am in disbelief of the work i have to do, which should make tommorrow much more interesting. In addition I have found three jobs I want to apply to in the course of the week. One is in Oregon so I could re-join my bff of 10+ years, who so abruptly moved at the completion of her degree. the other two are in St. Louis, which i am not entirely sure how i feel about. I would undoubtedly be shunned for a while because my upper midwest accent prevents me from pronouncing the city in the fashion that the locals usually demand. I met the same issue in KC, though so that doesnt bother me in the least. it would be rather strange to be that far away from the fam and friends tho. We will see, no need to worry about the move until there is a job offer after all. aww well, I need to continue reading about info policy, which is surprisingly delightful. Im always amazed when one of my SLIS classes turns out to be interesting. After that first semester it is always so unexpected to enjoy what you are learning.

cheers

  1. yes yes, blame it on me for moving. Do i need to send you a mix cd of the song "get over it" ? I wouldn't do it for anything but humor, I miss you.

    I cannot believe the education you've gotten now. Most of what you talk about, aside form the fact that i couldn't ever really know what it means, is complex. You're a real smart-ass now. Honestly though, I feel proud of you in the way that is slightly terrified as well. The things you know are so much more advanced that what I know. Hopefully this qualifies you for U of O. That would be... pretty ideal to be honest. I'll move in with you and we can have the dals as our guardian.
