The Lead Up

Posted by lynn on Jul 6, 2005 in Random

I leave for Champaign-Urbana on Wednesday morning – a week from today. It’s kinda freaking me out.

During 10 days in CU, I will go through an orientation and fit in my first, complete, 2-unit class – paper, project and final. Needless to say, in order to pull this all off we students are expected to have all our reading done before we arrive. This is library school: there’s a lot of reading.

I’m slightly wigged about completing all my reading. I’m very wigged about writing a real, non-“please admit me” essay for the first time in 10 years. I’m also mildly wigged about the fact that I still haven’t dropped the 10lbs I’ve gained since last year and that the weather in CU will demand shorts. Everyone will see my thighs – my white, pasty, jiggly thighs. Okay, that’s a very non-scholarly fear, but I have it nonetheless.

I’ll also be staying in a dorm room while I’m at school. They’ll be supplying me with a pillow, but that’s about it. I’m having to gather sheets, a blanket, “shower shoes,” a towel and a bunch of other crap I haven’t had to pack since college. Sarah is making me pack granola bars so she’ll “know that I’ll eat breakfast.”

It’s all so familiar yet strange, ya know?

So just in case you thought I was just hanging out, waiting for school to start, there you go. There’s a lot of crap to be done. Now it’s back to my digital library article.
