You know what is an awesome feeling? Sitting down to do three assignments for tomorrow and discovering that one of them isn't due until next Monday!

So I'm done with one assignment and trying not to headdesk too hard over the second, which involves looking up ten frigging job descriptions just to write a 300-500 word essay comparing the education ( Read more... )

I have a midterm this evening in my Foundations of Library Science class. The professor is obsessed with handouts, which I promptly lose, because he promised they'd be up on the class website before the exam.

Guess what? They're not. And I wouldn't bitch, because I have physical handouts somewhere, except that he said they would be there, and they ( Read more... )

You know what I would really like? A course on gender studies in library science. I'm sitting here in class and sort of giving a head-tilt to some of the things going on here.

I mean, the quotes from Dewey about how women should be librarians because it's "less exacting physically" than teaching, because we're passive, deferent, nurturing, quiet and ( Read more... )

Okay, so Monday's eight hours of class was a poor scheduling decision. Adding four hours of work to the beginning of it? Really crappy idea.

Oh yeah, because while I was in LA doing that thing with the stuff, I got a call from the local public library, offering me a peon tech-service job at minimum wage. Bottom line: I has a job, bitches!

I also owe ( Read more... )

The fairy in the heating ducts has escaped.

That's right, folks, the heat is out in the apartment. I'm curled up in bed under a blanket and the duvet, using my laptop's charger as a warming brick. I am wearing sweatpants, a tee-shirt, a hoodie, fuzzy socks, and a pair of fingerless gloves. I was going to turn the laptop off and go to sleep, but it's ( Read more... )

I have got to remember how to fucking sleep.

I basically dozed from about 7am to 1pm today--I woke up at least once an hour. And my dreams? Not exactly restful. For example, at one point I was giving birth to Rosemary's Baby in a rundown steampunk hospital staffed by the cast of Scrubs. And Dr. Kelso kept stealing my pants. (If it had been Dr. Cox, ( Read more... )

Hi. I'm sitting in a freezing cold classroom wearing hobo gloves and pretending to take notes. I have been in this room for two hours. I will be in this room for another six hours. I love this prof, she has a badass accent and makes snarky comments and she used a Star Trek DVD as a bibliography example, but my attention span is nil.

Please send help ( Read more... )

So I got up this morning--no really, it was still morning--and I took a shower, and I skimmed the reading for class. And I was just double-checking the room number, since this is the first in-class meeting, when the class-time caught my eye. Class does not start at 2:15--that is my Monday class. Thursday class starts at 6:15. *headdesk*

Now I guess ( Read more... )

So, am back at Kent. Classes start on Tuesday, so I have three...okay, two more days, really, to get all the books I need and make sure the bursar's office got my check and all that stuff.

The drive up here was hell--I was carsick for the whole first two hours, but on the bright side I wound up with BOOKS from the used-book warehouse we passed in ( Read more... )

I am wearing contacts for the first time in months--my right eye is not happy about that, but fuck it. I'm left-eye dominant anyway. Kent!Halloween is tonight, which is exciting. I am pinning my parrot to my blouse with Hogwarts house pins, because apparently I left the magical box of actual safety pins in Atlanta. It seems to be working rather ( Read more... )
