OMG I'm posting something?
Strange... I know...
Today is my third day of graduate classes... and I already feel like theres so much to be done. The classes themselves are in some cases totally terrible, while in others, completely normal and manageable, just like regular college classes. My first class, Retrieving information, is death.... 3 hours of lecture, followed by assignments nicknamed "search and seizures"... and did i mention that 50% of my class mates are over 30? most are fat and not necessarily attractive, AND they are all hardcore overachievers who like fight with each other and the profs.... ridiculous. Class number 2, School Library Media Center Management was significantly better at first, nice profs, a lil more interesting material, still three hours of lecture, but broken up by a nice break, with snacks that they are going to bring every week, etc. then came time for the go around the room, say your name, your experience in school libraries, and 2 things about you.... one girl answered the question by saying "the only thing about me is that i am fantastic. Just fantastic all around. fantastic fantastic blah blah blah" which went on for a good 5-10 minutes. she is most def. not fantastic. i am one of the few in that class who havent been a teacher for the last 10 years.... Nicole = no experience = fail.... tonights class is Psychology of learning and development for education.... 3 more hours of lecture... should be interesting. then tomorrow are my last two classes, understanding information and resources for children. both 3 hours of library fun.
in other news, i had an interview yesterday and now have three jobs.
1. working at the archives 10 hours a week (they pay me min. wage, but i have to do 10 hours a week to keep my scholarship)
2. every other weekend at heinz chapel, still an assistant wedding coordinator
3. every friday from 10-2 and every sunday from 11-7 at Joseph Beth bookstore on the south side
yeah, so don't expect to see a whole lot of me.... i need the money for the car i have to buy now that the blazer finally bit the dust. awesome.
and lastly,
I hope people are coming to the party this weekend, we have been looking forward to having everyone over for so long! And we are gonna have a blast.... we are finishing up the cornhole boards now, they are awesome, we have the basement equipped for some beer pong, and plenty of couch space for people to crash! hope to see you there!!!!
