I am alive

I know – I haven’t posted in a while. Things got really hectic here with my “tracking assignment,” group project, group process paper…

I’m now sitting in the GSLIS building, taking a break from studying for the exam that starts at 1:30. I *think* I know the material and concepts and I hope that they don’t fall out of my head the minute the test starts.

After the exam I’m swinging by the bookstore and then I’m going to get a beer. Only one beer though because I am SO FRICKIN’ EXHAUSTED that I would probably pass out after two. Have I mentioned I’m exhausted?

I love all the people I’ve met over the ten days, and I really feel like I’ve bonded with them. I think my instructors, Leigh Estabrook and Maggie Kimmel, are AMAZING! Maggie even made us cry this morning with her story about magic and how we can transform the world. I feel I have learned so much and I’m really excited about the next five semesters.

Still, I really miss my home – my friends, my boyfriend, my cats, my bed that does not have plastic on it. I’m really looking forward to seeing all of that tomorrow.

So I’m going to go back to studying about “Literacy and Reading: Exploring the purpose of libraries (Lecture 3).” Wish me luck.
