re-appearing on your flists...
HI Everyone,
I haven't written in a long while, and I'd love to give some excuse but it's just been life and too much TV. Speaking of TV, are you Joss Whedon fans excited about this new show tonight, Dollhouse? We're recording it. I'm kinda psyched even though I'm not really a Whedon fan (Love Eliza Dushku though!). I can't get over how much sci-fi is on the rise. The 09-10 Lone Star reading list, which I'm currently reading through, has five sci-fi books out of the twenty! For years after Harry Potter, everywhere and everything was fantasy, but now I'm seeing sci-fi all over the place. And some cool stuff too! (Though someone really should have told me that Hunger Games was part of a series!)
Loving life as a school librarian! I'm gearing up for my first real research project as a librarian. Had an inservice at the beginning of the year for IIM research method, and I really liked a lot of their stuff so I now get to try it out! Woo-hoo! This messed up TX school funding is hitting our district really hard. We've been told that any elementary librarians who quit will be replaced with aides. :-( This is not good people! I really hope the legislature makes some changes soon to school funding cause some of these proposed cuts are going to be long-term damaging, as in it will take years to get the quality of faculty and programs back to where they is now if the cuts are made. Dammage has already been done this year from trying to spread faculty to far.
And in other news, next week I get to help chaperone my first dance as a teacher. Not to excited about that, but it is for a really good cause, so I'll do my bit.
Random question of the week: (Been watching True Beauty, and it got me thinking about the character in Piers Anthony's Xanthe novels, Chameleon.) So fess up....
