Diary 03/18

Only 24 hours until FTW. Sigh. I really don't want to be negative prior to getting to Pittsburgh but, I am not looking forward to the many hours of classes and course work. Everyone keeps emailing that they can't wait to meet each other. Am I (ab)normal? I have no desire to meet anyone. I am content with our online relationship. I can't be feeling this way by myself here...

One good thing is in my DL class we were given an extension on the outline. THANK YOU GOD!!!! I really needed it. I am comatose with YA work and preparation for this weekend.

I have a preliminary DL paper outline but it is not up to what I think the instructors standard will be. I need these extra days to get my rear in gear. I think I'll take my initial version to Pitt and show it to him for feedback and suggestions. Hopefully that will get me movin'.

One way that I have been procrastinating is by taking on line quizzes. I found an "are you a librarian test" on the blog of a fellow cohort 9 student. There were 29 hard (!) questions.

According to the test I would do best as a bookstore employee - LOL - at this point I tend to agree. I scored 34% on knowledge of librarianship (which was higher than 26% of my peers). They claim, "You know more than most about library stuff, maybe a lot more, and maybe there's a library job in your future...You might look the part of a librarian, but you're not one. Consider joining your local Friends of the Library group.

If you too want to ignore upcoming assignments, here is the link to the quiz http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-are-you-a-librarian-test

I'll see everyone soon. I'll try to seem excited ;oD
