I'M TOO EXCITED TO SLEEP!!!
Okay, my first friend is getting married this weekend (the first wedding of a friend, not my first friend's wedding).... And Adam is coming to Hamilton... TONIGHT!(it's 12:00am here, my time)
I am way too excited! I haven't seen him in 2 months, 19 days, and 9 hours! It should be illegal how excited I am. Not only do I get to hit myself with the pretty stick for the wedding, but I also get to hit Adam with it (nothing better than a man--who smells good--in a suit), and then I get to take a spin or two around a golf course ballroom to a slow tune! Sigh. Does life get any better?
Okay, I'm off to bed... Let's hope I can get my head to stop buzzing long enough to sleep and prevent dark eye circles (never an attractive sight.)
Aaaaphft (sound of my head exploding due to excitement.)
Hmmm, maybe I should do one more deep conditioning exfoliating mask?
What about another coat of shimmer top coat on my toes?
Is it to early to do my hair?
Oh god...

Good lord! I was wondering what was on my screen and that explains it: part of Amanda's exploded head. I've never seen (I can envisino it in my mind's eye) anyone so excited. What are you, in love or somethin'? Hope you got lots of sleep to avoid that heroin chic look, it wouldn't suit you.
Do we poor blogophiles living vicariously through you get pictures of the pre-friend-wedding Amanda? Are you a bride's maid? Will you be in seafoam chiffon? I can't wait I can'twait Ican'twait!!!
Whoa, whoa, had to throttle back there some or my head might explode too.

So I dragged my sorry butt home from marketing class at 9:30 last night, and what should be waiting for me but Amanda surprise! Thank you Amanda, it made me laugh (although I'm sure you're not reading this right now because you're too busy playing with the long-missed Adam).

Question for Michelle:
How is that course? Now that I live on the other side of town I can no longer stalk you but perhaps you could indulge us with regular reports.
For that matter, who else is taking/ has taken spring summer courses? How were they?
Warren
My coworker Librarian friend told me that he totally recommends a course like that. It's too bad it's only available in the summer.
P.S. Yea! People are getting there suprises!
I can't believe I've been taken off the stalking list. That makes me so sad. Am I not good enough for you anymore Warren, now that you've got all these other stalking options?
The course is pretty good, actually. Lots of super interesting stuff covered, like how to get people into libraries if they're not already coming, and should we even bother or just concentrate on the ones we've already got. The nice thing is that the class is small enough (only about 14 people) that it feels like a seminar class, and you can have actual discussions with the whole group. Also, the workload is actually realistic for a summer course, which is also nice.
Has anyone else noticed that some of the best classes are offered in the summer? They ran one last year on libraries and disaster recovery that I would have loved to have taken, but apparently it only goes every second year.

Eggball?

I'm with you on the Eggball thing, Warren...
Also, funny you should mention it, I just emailed Anna about this very topic... I think I am having a mid-summer breakdown, questioning the courses I've registered for. A couple librarian friends here have given me some advice, namely to drop collection management and publishing, and take digital librarianship and instructional... I'm seriously thinking about it. I know the work will be horiffic, but I'm not looking for scholarships anymore (I missed that boat), so I figure, I might as well. But I needed to ask Anna... should I forgo the classes I know I want to take, simply to take those that might get me in the door (or so I am told)? What do you guys think?
Honestly? Although certain profs would probably beg to differ, I don't think the classes you take in library school really matter that much in the grand scheme of things. I think for the most part, potential employers assume that if we're smart enough to get into grad school, we're probably smart enough to pick up anything we didn't learn in school on our own. I didn't take cataloguing and I'm now spending 2 days a week cataloguing at my job. At least that's how I justify my decision not to take awful sounding classes like instructional strategies and advanced research methods.
I agree with Genevieve. What you're looking for ultimately are those letters behind your name. And here's the thing. If you're not even interested in taking the course, there's a good chance you're also not going to be too interested in doing whatever it teaches professionally, so why waste the time?

Complications? Explain.
I should have had mine out last summer, but I missed the appointment (opps!). I'm glad, in the long run I didn't. Although every 6 months or so I can slightly feel them, I barely know they are there. Now, I did have a bit of movement in my front lower, but nothing nothing nothing to make me regret the decision, or ruin the years of retainer bills my parents forked over when I was a child.
On the other hand, if you mean complications i.e. infection, yank 'em. No questions asked. My sister had infected wisdom teeth and they hurt like a mo fo for weeks.
Tough call, though. Think of fun things like lollipops and that Magic Bullet thing on all the new infomercials, not wisdom teeth.
Courses: Take the ones you are interested in. Why? Life is short. When you are on your death bed and/or senile, would you rather be living in happy memories about Frances or lamenting all the time that the raptor's stole from you when she/it has her talons sunk into your soul for another year of your life?
Wisdom teeth: I dunno. My parents made that decision for me in, I think, early highschool. Being laid back I went along with it; it wasn't my money. Turned out I only had three. Another piece of the puzzle falls into place.
