a marathon not a sprint, and i never was that good at running

Hello all. I am avoiding a paper, of course. I thought it was about time that i comment on my life in library school for the brief amount of time that I will be still in library school. I have 6 days until I graduate. I say that but really, im not walking so I technically graduate when ever i get my paper and project done which at the rate im going may never get done. Everything is due on thursday so it will get done reguardless of whether it is any good or not.
So events have been a going, I found out several things this week, the most recent is that i think my computer is officially dead. My roomate was watching netflix from it and in his twins words, "it went to the blue screen of death, so we shut it off." and alas it has not woken up yet. There could be worst things though, pretty much everything i needed is on my fash drives, so i guess it can die in peace, it served me well and treated me much better then I did it.
I also found out that the job i had planned on working at this summer can only give me 15 hours a week, because they overestimated thier budget (or something like that) I had a little bit of trouble maintaining a not totally pissed off face while i got this news (a week before my work study runs out) because i asked if i could work there over the summer 2 months ago........and i didnt try to find another temp job because i thought i had one.......basically my life would have been much easier if they had let me know a couple of months ago so i could have talked to the digital library because i pry could have worked there as well..... I dont really know what im going to do, i will probably try to find a crap job to work at in addition to the map gig but it has put a hold on my summer plans of visiting sherlock in oregon, because i have no idea if i will have enough money for rent next month let alone a 1000 dollar plan ticket. things i will need to figure out soon. I may take the bus or train, it would be a ridiculously long trip (like 3 days) but it would be 3 to 4 hundred dollars cheeper.
other news, my roommates moved out this weekend. The one, i honestly pry wont notice that she is gone, but the other i already kinda miss. He is a force that fills a house and the silence that is left is erie.
and last but not least, if anyone out there knows of a special collections/archives job available let me know so i can apply. and actually if you know of anything with any type of data management info processing, info/knowledge management. let me know, i am qualified and ready to find a real job.
