I wrote a thing about Christopher Nolan and the Academy Awards, just like every other movie blogger out there. You should read it.
In other, less derivative news, I'm two weeks into my GSLIS classes and still totally excited about them. Well, totally excited about my Intro class - my professor is a really, really smart woman who specializes in youth and children literature. I think she and I will get along just fine. My other class is about being a reference librarian, which is less exciting but extremely useful. We're learning all about search tools and organizing information and things like that.
The one thing that's not so fun is that I have much, much less free time now - duh, I know, because suddenly I have two 3-hour classes a week, but I didn't imagine it would impact how I schedule things this much. Case in point: I haven't had time to go to the gym this week after work ever, even though I get to leave an hour earlier than I did before. So, this morning I woke up stupid early and went before work. (Although I feel pretty great now) And scheduling my volunteer stuff is becoming a pain, but that's really not something I can stop doing at this point, since I think I would love to work at the Oak Park Public Library once I'm done with school. So. I'll manage, but I'll be pretty tired for a while.
Not much else going on. I hope everyone is having a good January - mostly I'm excited to start getting to warmer weather. I'm tired of wind and gray days and being cold all the time.
