I leave for Champaign-Urbana on Wednesday morning – a week from today. It’s kinda freaking me out. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.”<\/p>\n
It’s all so familiar yet strange, ya know? <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
