With apologies to Billy Shakes for the paraphrase, I think this will be my “semester of disconnect” at FIMS.
- I've got two classes at Somerville House up in UGG-ville
- I've also got one evening class and one distance class so only need to be at the North Campus Building one day per week (in the purest sense of “day” ie. when lots of other people are around) for class
- The past two semesters, I tended to have one class that would be a bit easier for me (and occasionally another class might turn out to be easier than I expected) which helped take some of the pressure off doing the “Suicide Five”. But so far, none of my classes seem like they'll be that class this semester and in terms of workload, just based on the first week of classes and seeing the syllabii, this will likely be my hardest semester by far
- Most of my cohort are off on co-op so even though I have lots of friends ahead of and behind me, there's a gap among the core group I started with
- The new student
lounge is a lot bigger and actually has a window (!) but is much more
inconveniently located, being about as far from the rest of the MLIS
classrooms/computer labs/resource materials as it could be while still
remaining in the same building. So I don't know how much time I'll spend there compared to the last two terms - And on top of all of that, I think I'm going to be busy with a lot of external stuff – the job hunt, student council, a couple other things I've got in the air – which will likely reduce my “hang out and chat” time that was such an important part of my last two semesters
Or maybe I just hate that today is so cold and rainy and crappy out and am feeling a bit worn out already? Yeah, that could be it too!
