Just finished my 504 research proposal that's due in, oh, six hours and a bit. This isn't really a case of “last-minute-itis” though. (I've been working pretty hard on it for the last two weeks.) Instead, it's another problem I've discovered here that I never had an undergrad. Namely, I can't let things go. I […]
“I get most of my calories and all of my self-esteem from beer.” “Do I know you?” “I'm in your class.” “Oh, I only have time to meet the alcoholics in that class.” “I think we need a pellet gun. Or we could just throw empty glasses.” “Bugs Bunny had some pretty racist early cartoons. […]
I love the Overhead at Western blog Shea and I have taken to walking around campus saying the stupidest things we can think of in the hopes of making it on the page ourselves. But how can we compete with brilliance like this? Wait. There's really a Saskatchewan?! Girl: There is totally like, no Regina […]
Looking at that calendar on the left side, I realise that I've never done an entry on a Friday since starting this blog a month and a half ago. I conceivably have from 12am on Thursday night/Friday morning to 12am on Friday night/Saturday morning to do one and have it listed as a Friday entry. […]
It's killing me but I'm having to change the focus of a a paper I'm doing for my “501 – Perspectives on Library and Information Science” class. Originally, I was going to compare the differences between the public library systems in Alberta (the only place in Canada along with Quebec that charges user fees for […]
So after my last entry explaining why I'm not getting the marks that my overachieving classmates are, I come in to find I (finally!) got a 90% on one of my assignments. I've gotta admit, it feels good. The irony is that I didn't think I did as well as on the one I wrote […]
I've always thought one of the best things about librarians/library schools is that they attrack a range of people from all different academic fields of study. I mean, if you're doing a Masters in English, you pretty much know all your classmates have English undergrad degrees. But in this program, we have one person with […]
The following are some subjects I've been able to explore in my first semster of library school via essays and other assignments. I'm pretty happy with this and am looking forward to exploring the many other topics of interest in future semesters… – the meaning of information – whether librarians should be social activists – […]
From Porn Star librarians to Pretzel Librarians…up until now, my policy of not posting embarrassing photos of people (hi Derek!) without their permission has been a sensible one. But this can't go unrecorded…(yes, that is my mentor, the infamous Sabina – doesn't she look like a librarian with those glasses?) Click on the thumbnail to […]
After an enormous smear on my character, just because I happened to be looking at web pages of belly-dancing librarians at two in the morning (), I started thinking to myself: what are the similarities between librarians and porn stars? (Not to say that belly dancers are porn stars, of course!) I couldn't think of […]
