That's what happens when you go to all the tech sessions and hang out with the techies – your photo shows up all over the place… I'm on the right side, about five rows back in the yellow shirt with the black t-shirt underneath. The lady two to my right is Fran Gray who is […]
In our “503 – Reference Sources & Services” class, each week a few students have signed up to send around a summary of the readings for that week's class. I'm not sure if this is the purpose but it's a great idea for those weeks when you don't get to assigned readings yourself. I was […]
I had a teacher in Grade Seven who strongly believed that “nobody should get 100% because nobody is perfect.” It was an interesting theory except this person was teaching math. To a bunch of grade seven kids. We're not talking about advanced calculus here or even something subjective like English or Art where you could […]
Yay! Our digital camera finally arrived today after two weeks of waiting, UPS losing the first one that shipped (that's the official line anyhow) and many, many phone calls to New York. It's not as bad as it seems – it was only a week longer than I expected, the hit at the border for […]
I noticed something interesting in class today. Glancing around, I realised that quite a few of my classmates were left-handed. Doing a quick count of the ones I could see from where I was sitting (and not counting the 5-6 who were typing on laptops), I came up with 6/24 people as left-handed (25%). Lefties […]
I guess I can talk about this now since it was announced publicly in class by Christina Winter on Tuesday. She surprised me a week or so ago by letting me know that she was going to nominate me for the “Spirit of Librarianship” Award that student council offers each semester. Here's the blurb: The […]
Ignore that last post. I had to put a link to Technorati to “claim” my blog. Why'd I do that? I got my first comments today from my old (former, dammit!) co-worker who was searching Technorati to see who linked to her and my first entry in this blog came up. Obviously, I have a […]
I mentioned I'm incredibly busy with an assignment due every day this week (little ones all but they can be time-consuming. I found myself calling Mississippi this morning to verify a fact for an assignment – no joke!) so I probably won't be posting every day like I planned to, at least for the time […]
This is what I would look like if I lived in Springfield. Pretty accurate though they didn't have a “full beard” option and my hair probably could've been shown as being a wee bit longer. Went over to the school at noon and spent the rest of the day there working on two of the […]
