Springing forward

I am back home from college until September, which feels like such a relief. No more 10 page research papers or roommates (to a certain extent). I have time to read. It seems like such a novel concept as I practically inhale books when I get the chance.
Over the past two days, I have read [...]

Thirteen

Thirteen Reasons Why I Need Summer Vacation:
1. I want to be able to read something that isn’t Shakespeare (as much as I love the Bard, I’ve had enough) or things from the British Literature II selected canon that drives me crazy.
2. I miss my best friend, SMA. Last summer, if you check old posts, we [...]

Connected

I’ll readily admit that I have not been keeping up with my schoolwork for the past week or so. I was concentrating on getting my applications done and put things on the back burner. Now, though, I’m playing catch-up and needing to get it all done ASAP.
This week has been slightly overwhelming, something that I [...]

Banned Books Week

I work at the library and discovered that today starts Banned Books Week (BBW-Sept. 27-Oct. 4, 2008)! Now, why get excited about banned or challenged books?

I looked at some of the preliminary lists from the ALA site [...]

It’s amazing that what I am seeing there is about a 1/2 a day ahead and by the time I wake up, more things will already be completed, records shattered, medals won, tragic losses, and crushing defeats. [...]

A New Endeavor

Today I embarked on a new career path: library assistant. While I don’t actually know if that is the proper title for my new occupation, I enjoyed actually getting paid for things that I normally do there on my own free time.
One of the reasons I love being in the library is because I love to [...]

Timing is everything

So far, so good with the blogging. It comes as no surprise that a lot more can be done and understood about making changes to this thing during the daylight hours. I finally figured out how to fix  the time code application for this. My next endeavour will be to tell it to stop “categorizing” [...]

The Memoir Begins…

After much deliberation, I have decided to try my hand at blogging. I’m using wordpress.com because of the mixed format of a community website, which allows those with common interests to interact, and the ’streamlined’ look of individual pages.
I journal on my own at home, not as much as I would like. I figured that having blog would [...]
