Trickle Drops

Update: Summer School, Life, etc.

Hey everyone. I have been out of touch for a few weeks. Well, let's see . . . Spring semester went quite well. I actually put together a pretty cool assignment for my Bestseller's class: Check it out if you're interested.

My semester basically ended on a Friday and I had a weekend off, and my first term of Summer school began that Monday. I took two workshop-type classes for Term I: Rare Book Librarianship and The History of the Book. The classes were taught by a visiting scholar, named Sidney Berger, who is THE premier, elite, famous, freaking best thing since sliced bread on these topics. I couldn't believe I was in the same room with this man. He is a GOD of rare book librarianship. Each class was for three hours, everyday for two weeks. I had a free weekend between them, but I had two term papers, a midterm, and a final exam, so that weekend was spent with non-stop research and writing. But I think I did pretty well in the classes. Let's hope so!

I have two weeks off before Summer Term II begins, but I'm only taking one class for that, so it should be better. Oh, and the class lasts for two months rather than two weeks, so it shouldn't be as intense.

Ok, I'm going to the best Library Science school in the country, so it's not like I expected this to be easy, but seriously. This degree is kicking my butt.

If anyone would like to meet for Happy Hour this Friday, I'd love that.
