Last night I went to the Potomac Library, got there with 20 minutes to spare, and successfully took the library page assessment exercise! So that's a weight off my shoulders now. As predicted, I finished in about ten minutes, and it seemed pretty easy. I'll call for my scores on Thursday, and then I get put on a waiting list for the 3 libraries I ( Read more... )

I will go into this in much more detail later, but I had a very stressful evening tonight. I went to a work meeting, and learned that aside from the once-a-week tours I'm slated to give, I will no longer be getting paid for any of the work I do for Admissions. Instead of that, they're instating this ridiculous points system, where the type and ( Read more... )

OMG. It could not have been a more beautiful day for World Carnival. :) (For the uninitiated, this is the SMCM annual multicultural festival, aka A LOT OF FUN! But we always get rain or something unpleasant like that on World Carnival weekend, so this was the first year since I've been here that it's actually been nice.) STARS had a coloring ( Read more... )

I'm excited! I've got two packages most likely coming in the next couple weeks. The first is a literary journal that we had to subscribe to for my fiction writing class, so we could get an idea of the publishing world that we're preparing to enter. I'm looking forward to seeing what that's all about. The second is a book of short stories by Annie ( Read more... )

So, many long-awaited things accomplished today. First of all, Florence and I finally recorded our amusing voicemail message- which, true to form, ends with me saying "I can't figure out how to end this" and Florence whispering "Press '9'." :) We'll leave it that way and then change it in a couple weeks. Maybe ( Read more... )

I have a couple orders of business/points of interest to get out of the way in this lj entry...

First, a very very happy birthday wish to redroseriot05, who I wed in lawful facebook marriage about a year and a half ago! Happy birthday, Gina. I hope it's a great one, and that New Student Days are going well down there in St. Mary's. (You better be corrupting ( Read more... )

I meant to post, like, last Monday to talk about the previous weekend, but just kept putting it off until I got to today. That makes this post a little longer, but oh well...I'll try to keep it to a reasonable length ( Read more... )

The incredibly optimistic title of this entry may seem a little strange. After all, it's a little more windy and cold than beautiful spring weather normally is today, and of course we're all still reeling from the Virginia Tech shootings. But honestly, I take a look around and I realize that it's a great time to be on the St. Mary's campus right ( Read more... )

Two bits of good news ( Read more... )

Well, I'm off in a few minutes to interview for the tour guide job. I feel pretty confident about it, and I think it'll go well. Wish me luck!

P.S. Sorry for all the short posts. Maybe I'll talk more this weekend.
