Best laid plans. Today was a little rough. I woke up at seven
o'clock this morning which is unacceptable for a snow day. I also
didn't get to bed until around two o'clock and I knew five hours
would catch up with me and just be an excuse to take a nap and avoid
work. Turns out I didn't really need that excuse.
I laid in bed until I fell asleep again and ended up not getting out
of bed until ten o'clock. I spent some time working on my collection
assessment but didn't make much progress. I'm still hung up on
picking a library. It would have been nice if we had been give a
list of libraries to pick from. Or even a fictional library. I am
overwhelmed by choice. I looked at a couple different libraries and
came up with a list of possible cost cutting measures based on the
notes I took during the last class weekend. I could probably use
some more of those. Then I just need to pick a library and
personalize those cost cutting measures to the library (somehow) and
throw in references to the textbooks and articles we've read. Piece
of cake, right? It's going to be a long week.
I emailed my adviser today to check on the whole graduation thing. I
plan on graduating in August but there isn't a ceremony in August,
only May and December. There are also cutoffs for when you have to
fill out an intent to graduate, which is what had me worried. For
August graduates the due date is March, no problem there. For May
graduates the due date was November 1st. I missed that a
little bit but didn't realize at the time that there wasn't a
ceremony in August so I didn't even pay attention to it. So I
emailed my adviser to see which due date actually applied to me if I
wanted to walk in May and if I missed it if I would have to wait
until December to walk. She directed me to a guy who is in charge of
graduation stuff and I sent him basically the same email. He got
back to me and said that I could use the March deadline and there
would be an option when I filled out the intent to indicate I wanted
to walk in May. That took a load off my mind. My mom would have
been pissed if I couldn't walk in May. It'll be weird walking before
I finish school but I think it would be weirder to walk several
months after finishing school.
This afternoon I had a haircut, which I thought I might have today
and confirmed it this morning by texting the lady who cuts my hair.
That kind of through off my plans to work on my school stuff but
ultimately that is just another excuse. It was also the first time
I've left the house since last Tuesday. Unless you count hanging the
Christmas lights on Wednesday. So a little fresh (cold) air and a
haircut is pretty good.
I also replied to a couple discussion posts today. So I was slightly
productive today. I gave up tonight though. After dinner I became
almost immediately lethargic. It's been a struggle just to write
this. And it's just now creeping up on nine o'clock. We'll see if I
can push it to ten o'clock and then hope for a better tomorrow.
Maybe I can get some schoolwork done at work.
