This morning I woke up early even
though I didn't want to. I then spent three hours working on my
Twine story for my practicum. It took awhile for my mind to actually
wake up and for things to happen. I have said it before, it is hard
to be clever when you're tired and your mind is exhausted. At least
I think I've said it before. With the story I am not only trying to
be clever, I'm also trying to tie everything together in a sequence
that makes sense. It's a challenge. I think it has potential
though, and it is the one thing that I actually look forward to
working on at the moment because it allows me to be creative. And I
think the final product will be fun, so that's motivation. Right now
I have somehow managed to stay focused on the story and not the
aesthetics but it is really tempting to start messing with CSS and
make it look more appealing. But that will come in time.
I went to work at noon and it was a
fairly productive day. I finished the last homebound book list,
which I had saved for last because I needed to find twelve books for
this patron, and that sounded daunting. But it ended up going fairly
quick. Maybe I am finally getting the hang of picking out books.
Slowly. Because I won't be there tomorrow and we go out for the
delivery on Wednesday, my boss is having one of the assistants pull
my books for me and do all the processing. That is part of their job
but I still kind of feel like an ass for not doing the work myself,
because it feels like it should be my job. To ease my conscience a
little bit I pulled the books for two of my patrons, checked them
out, and added the feedback bookmarks. They were the two patrons who
get the least amount of books but it still counts.
I also helped patrons with various
computer and book-related questions. And did other things. I'm sure
there was more stuff because I remember feeling productive. But I'm
tired right now and my memory is failing me.
Tomorrow I've got a lot to do. My
adviser is coming for a site visit so I need to meet her at the
campus library for an hour at two o'clock. I'm hoping that goes
well. There is no reason it shouldn't but I'm a little worried about
how many hours I'm putting in outside of the library. I don't know
if it is necessary but my fingers will be crossed.
I also need to make my final
selections for my capstone artifacts, at least the eight for the
program outcomes (although I also need the four for the professional
values so I know I'm covering all my classes). For those eight I
need to write a short summary about them. By midnight tomorrow.
That will be my main priority but I also need to put hours in for my
practicum, beyond the site visit. I thought about going to the
library an hour before the visit and staying for awhile afterward but
that will depend on what kind of progress I can make on my capstone.
My roommate from the conference
emailed me today about our website, so that is also on the playing
field now. Neither of us have created any content for it yet but he
at least set up the Wix page today so we can start working on stuff.
And I have my two blog posts on round tables for that class due
Sunday. There are not enough hours in the day.
