Different experience
So....I wans't one of those students who spent an inordinate amount of time, or much of any time actually, in the library as an undergrad. I did live on campus, so maybe that made a difference. But....although I can access most things from home now, I have been in the library for a little more than an hour, just looking for articles and printing them. I have yet to read them and discover why it is that I cannot get the full text of a few others which I believe I definitely need for the research/legal paper that I'm writing. This is interesting to me. I don't know what I expected as far as atmosphere, but it's not all that bad.....
For whatever reason, I needed to get that out.
As far as my anxiety and confidnce about my abilities/knowledge, it peaks and then it goes down a bit. I find that the more tired or exhausted or even frustrated I'm feeling about things related to school, the higher it is. Although, it doesn't seem that my anxiety in general I'm able to get lower than about a 3 on a 1-10....this is also interesting to me. We'll see how things pan out over the next two or three weeks as there are some assignments/tests coming up. I'm thinking that once there is some form of affirmation about all things school related, I'll probably be ok again.
Now, on to find the SW librarian to ask a few questions and elicit some assistance...then an apple or banana, some reading/researching, then hopefully the gym before home and food!
