From the monthly archives: February 2011
Today I had to turn in my first assignment for my metadata class. This is a brand new class that has not been taught before in our department by a second semester faculty member (he’s got years of experience elsewhere, but he’s new here). I was wary to take it for these reasons, but was [...]
Our department had our first library career day today. I wasn’t feeling too hot, so during the “speed dating” network thing, I slipped away outside to go for a quick stroll with my lovely boyfriend. The weather has been Hot ‘n Cold (a la Katy Perry) with us for the last two weeks, [...]
As my senior year of high school approached, my only career aspiration was the dream career ideal that I’ve had since I was 8 years old: work for Disney. Specifically I had wanted to be a Disney animator (but lost a taste for it when they went to 3D/CGI). I was a senior in high [...]

I got a little heated under the collar on another blog that dismissed the value of internships and practicums for LIS students. So I described how my program differs between these two professional development activities. My response on my practicum class is the one that surprised me which is why I’m posting it here:

My grandpa is dying so I’ve been pretty distracted. This goes on top of how overwhelmed I’ve felt this semester. I apologize for the lack of updates.
From a post I wrote for my metadata class:
This just reminds me that I decided to take on a MASSIVE rescan project this year by myself. My BFF and I have something like 6000+ images we’ve drawn over the last 9 years. The original scans were usually LQ that we sent each other [...]
