'Cuz I'm in too deep, and I'm tryin' to keep, up above in my head, instead of going under
Weekend update!
So that concludes my first week back at school. Second semester seems alittle bit more adventourous than first semester, could it be that the sequil is better than the original, stay tuned.
But I geuss you want to hear about the classes, and even if you don't I'm going to write them out anyways. So I got into the Archival reference and outreach class. It sounds like alot of fun, the professor reminds me of an owl. We're designing those displays you see at archival stuff, or traviling displays, and even online displays representing an archive. I think this will be fun.
Cataloguing 2.0 is looking like it's going to be just like the first one, so I wont go too far indepth in explaining that one outside that I'm looking forward to it. Digital Libraries also looks like a hoot, in that we get to design our own digital library! I'm still not 100% sure what I'm going to do, but I have a feeling it's going to revolve around Genesis and the bandmembors. I'll have to run it by my proff, who seems to be one of my favourit new professors. We get this pengwin for a week (I think his name is Tux) if we get great marks on an assingment.
Management.........oh management.........The more I think of it, the more I'm not really looking forward to it. I may be more of an outspoke person now, that doesn't mean I want to be called upon to 'lead the discussion'. Thats right, we've got this lotto thing were every week the professor will draw a name and that person will have to lead the discussion from the readings of that week. I read the readings last night (took me all damn day since there was 6 chapters to cover) and if she calls upon me, I have no idea what I'm going to say, and I've done the readings. But Management is made up for Collections development! Why? I get to develop the Beatles Collection in a hypothedical public library! I am so looking forward to this class, even if the final paper is like 80 pages. I can right 100 pages on the Beatles for all I care. And the proff reminds me of a pirate gypsy (don't ask me why).
So those are my courses. I'm happy since alot of my friends from 003 are in my classes. It's like being in grade 10 after grade 9 (or more like grade 12 after grade 11, since I really didn't make my long term friends until then). We all banded together in each class, but I'm sure once we get to know more people in the class the groups will spread out slightly and expand. I say hazza!
And thats about it.
