Ugh, yet again, I fail so hard at online classes. I forgot to email my prof my idea for an imaginary project for young-adult programming, even though I've been working on the project itself already. It's due on Monday, so if she says "Nope, someone else is already doing this," I'll have to start over COMPLETELY, and it will be my own. fucking. ( Read more... )

And then some days I am reminded why I am destined to be a reference librarian. For example, when my brother calls me at midnight going "WHAT THE HELL IS THE NAME OF JOHNNY QUEST'S DOG?" (It's Bandit, yo. Because he's got black markings on his face like a mask, which I just realized this exact moment.) Also, he forgot Race Bannon's name. Tsk, tsk ( Read more... )

Okay, my Digital Preservation group sort of figured out what we're supposed to be doing. I took a quiz, posted a discussion question, and added comments to the other group members' posts. Suddenly this weekend is looking ever so slightly less terrifying than it did before.

For the record:

Hi. I'm currently in the middle of my scheduled mid-semester panic attack. I am taking far too many classes, I am already behind in the online courses, and I have no fucking idea what I'm doing with any of it. On top of that, all I really want to do is play Warcraft and watch Pros episodes, even though I know that's escapism and I do not have time ( Read more... )

Oh god, classes start TOMORROW and I finally got into the YA Lit class yesterday and it's going to be so much work so I'm probably dropping the evil metadata class and did I mention classes and TOMORROW? Oh yeah, and there's that thing in Atlanta this week, or something. And I still need to find a way to get to the frigging airport on Thursday ( Read more... )

INT. A LIBRARY

SARAH: Hello, library! I have returned from vacation!

BOSS: Hello, Sarah! Welcome back! Did you have fun?

SARAH: Oh yes, lots of fun, but I'm glad to be back now.

BOSS: ...Here, have a lay-off.

END SCENE

Sooooo, yeah. No more part-time library job for Sarah. (I will now be financing DragonCon with student loans--not for the ( Read more... )

Day One of hamster-sitting: Hamster is still alive! Nobody got peed on! Hamster's single escape attempt was foiled my my catlike reflexes.*

I am watching my friend's hamster while he is off at Otakon. I...have never had a pet larger than a fish in my life, so I don't know why he decided to trust me with Coraline. But she's adorable, and like I said ( Read more... )

So. Frambois--raspberry beer. I do not like beer, and I do not like raspberry, yet somehow the combination is fucking delicious. I cannot quite feel my lips? But then I had two glasses of hard cider followed by the Frambois. Our excuse was celebrating housemate's final exam of the semester. There was singing along with Allman Brothers and some air- ( Read more... )

Ahaha, I can't get this paper organized because I have too fucking much to say about it. The topic? Women and Library Science. Thanks, prof, that's not a crazy-broad subject or anything. Hee, crazy broad, that's me! It's meant to be 750 to 1000 words. I'm at 626 right now and I don't even feel like I've gotten properly started.

I find it weird that ( Read more... )

Accidentally bought a Diet Mountain Dew out of the pop machine instead of a regular one. It does not remotely taste like regular Dew at all and is, in fact, making me more thirsty. You know how good cold water tastes after you've been running around at soccer practice or whatnot? That is what the water fountain will taste like on break.

Also we have ( Read more... )
