After an intense (?) build-up, the Spirit of Librarianship Award goes to… (drum roll)…me. Without being too egotistical, I'm not too surprised. I heard I got more nominations than some people got votes, I was the only one from first term nominated (and only the second first-termer to win it) so I got lots of […]
I'm doing an annotated bibliography on the corporatization of public libraries for 501 (sort of a recurring theme with my work here so far) and then I have to do a Request for Proposals for 505. Then I'm done my first semester of library school. How crazy is that? Next week is going to be […]
My Grade Two teacher is my favourite teacher of all-time. Her buying the class doughnuts on a monthly basis has a lot to do with it. But I think we've got a new champ. Proof? – give a kick-ass introductory class and an even better wrap-up class that draws tears from many in the class […]

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 […]
Speaking of, we have our first Triple Classmate of the Day: Lyndsey, Leah and Holly all showed up at Under the Volcano last night for drinks (as did Paul, Kelly and Jean-Marc but since I've been drinking with all of them many times before, the newcomers who I've never had drinks with before get the […]
Looking towards the future (March 5, 2003)
Some random thoughts… Things I Want To Set-up/Figure Out In This Blog: – it already appears to have most of the things I wanted my blog to have by default – comments, tags, RSS feed, so I just have to play around with each of these things a bit to make sure I like how […]
