On a Lighter Note . . .

After my honest post last night, I thought a different one was in order. I'm not in a dark hole of depression or anything. Last night's divulgence is only part of what's going on with me. :)

I started in Spring 2010 for my Masters in Library Science. Currently, I am doing my Practicum, which is basically an internship. I have to complete a total of 160 hours. Fortunately, some summer schools have librarians working so I can work with them. I am in my last week of doing my 60 elementary hours and I have one full week plus two more afternoons for my 6o hours at the secondary school. We have the option of doing a 40-hour project to make up the difference, which is what I am doing. I was asked to deliver a staff in-service on using blogs with students (because I did one this last year). My faculty advisor is allowing that to be my project. Yay! Now I have to really get to it. The other class I'm taking this summer is cataloging. It's very detail and rule-oriented.

The good news is that I will graduate in December!! I am tired of school, but the light at the end is getting closer. I know the hard work will pay off. I am incredibly motivated to finish. And I will finally get my evenings during the school year back! I won't know what to do with myself. I certainly won't go back to watching T.V. I only watch what I can get through Netflix on Instant Play.

There's too many other things to enjoy about life than sitting in front of the boob tube a few hours each night. Like reading. Or sitting outside and reading. With a dog. Definitely with a dog. And perhaps a coffee. Yes.

Alright. Off to some other diversion.
