Why do my random thoughts posts always seem to fall around the time of a long weekend? Strange…Relationship TheoryI've been thinking about something quite a bit since July. I read a lot of relationship books and watch a lot of Oprah so I'm very aware of the theory that says anyone in a relationship can […]
I can't just post even a little blurb I find without having a mini-rant attached (but what else are blogs for?) so here goes… Wouldn't it be nice if we had a place to disseminate information like this to the entire program? Yes, we have a mailing list that goes to all students and faculty […]
Instant MessagingI am back on instant messaging. After using IM quite a bit in the heyday of ICQ, I got away from it for a variety of reasons (no friends mainly ) but after being asked for my MSN info by a colleague today (and also attempting to do a virtual reference exercise last week […]

Went over to school today to hand in the last section of my Individual Study. Now I just have to put together a presentation and finalize arrangements to present it […]
