gotta love it
Well I got my Greek art history final turned in today. Hooray. Tonight I'm studying for my Islamic art history. Tomorrow is my last Northern Renaissance class and then I'll start studying for that tomorrow. Although tomorrow is going to be a long day so I don't know how much studying I'll get done - but I'll tell you about tomorrow, tomorrow. Do you notice that rarely do I give details about what I'm doing in the future - because if I did, this journal would get incredibly repetitive.
This week I'm really realizing how much there is to do in NY. Obviously I realized this before but it's hit me how much I still could do - crazy. There are so many things that I could still do and see. So little time left and 90% of it will be spent studying. Oh well. Luckily this won't be my only time here so I'm not too concerned with doing everything, and there's no possible way I could do it all anyway. It's so strange that I'm leaving. But now that I'm getting in the mind set of going back I just want to go back. I don't want to pack and I don't want to study and I don't want to have finals or say goodbye to everyone I've met here - now that it's so close I want this week to be over soon. But finals week has a way of drawing itself out doesn't it...hmm.
I've been listening to Christmas music every time I'm in my room. There are some weird songs out there. And some are so sad! Like "Christmas Shoes" - just about makes me cry...
Laura (my boss) and I went shopping party supplies, for our holiday party tomorrow. We went to the dollar store a few blocks away - Dollar Tree is way better - and got soda, chips, and plastic utensils. Then we went to the grocery store and bought napkins, cups and paper plates. She's, honestly, the best boss I think I'll ever have. She always makes a point of saying hello when everyone comes in for their shift, even if she's upstairs and working on something else. She asks about how our weekends were and genuinely listens to what we're saying. She, of all the student aides she deals with, remembers that I'm from Washington and that I'm considering getting my masters in library science. Laura Cobus is my hero. If I'm ever a boss, that's who I want to be. Maybe I sound like a little kid saying that but if you met her, you'd want to be her too. Plus she lives in Brooklyn, which is awesome - if I ever live here again (highly doubtful) I'll live in Brooklyn. On our shopping spree we talked about my library options - a billion and twenty - and she suggested GIS (geographic information systems) as a focus because I guess it's really popular and in demand (in library terms) right now. She said that lots of different companies are hiring people with GIS skills and maps librarys are always needing people who are technologically in-the-know. However that means I'd probably need to start taking some computer classes, which I kind'a always swore I would never do. But I guess it's okay to break my own pointless rules.
But I still have no idea what I'll end up doing when I get out of school. Does anyone really know for sure? Nope.
