Shame On Me

Another long period between posts (I'm beating myself up as I type). It isn't that I've been sooo busy that I can't post, nor is it that I have nothing interesting to post (or maybe that is it). However, these past few weeks I feel like I'm a ball of nerves. Three of my five assignments for my last semester have been turned in. Grades have been received for two (an A- and a B+, not my best work so I'm pleased with the grades) and the class is patiently waiting for the third. Our TA is grading this last assignment which has me biting my nails. For some reason TAs feel like they have to prove their worth and therefore grade rather harshly. Oh, well...no sense worrying myself sick. Graduation is approaching and I'm having mixed emotions. At times I'm so excited I'll just start laughing and at other times I get chocked-up. I can't wait to walk across that stage with hundreds of strangers (I've never met any of the people that I'll be graduating with) and knowing my family will be watching.

Now for a little update about work. I still love my job and the people I work with. My first Teen Advisory Board meeting has been scheduled for December 3rd. We're having a comic book artist stop by for a drawing workshop. I really hope it is a success. I'll advertise like crazy and stop by the middle and high school down the street to advertise as well. I've received a couple applications to join TAB which is very encouraging. I'm also learning the collection more and more each day and how to use the microfilm machines (we had several machines at my old job but I never really had to help customers use them) and our nifty new copier.

The Halloween birthday party was an absolute blast! The food was excellent and it was great seeing everyone celebrating.

It was fun dressing up but since the party was October 13th I felt as though Halloween had come and gone before the actual big day. At first we were allowed to dress-up at work as a book character (I was going to be Hermione again) but then that was canceled. Perhaps if we had been allowed to dress-up it would have felt like Halloween. I couldn't participate in any activities that evening because I had class and a paper due (blah!).

I shall post again soon (I promise!)
