August 2, 2016

 This morning I had to get up much earlier than I would have liked so that I could get to work by eight o'clock. This was my first time setting up by myself and I think I did pretty well. I ended up doing a lot of cleaning so I didn't actually get to sit down at the desk until nine o'clock.

I did things today and I remember some of them. This afternoon I was able to switch out my historical fiction display. I have it for two months and after the first month we rotate out all the books that didn't check out. This meant quite a few books had to be removed because the historical fiction display doesn't circulate well. I would say mostly because of it's location, tucked away by the reading room.

I also finally filled out my reading preferences form for one of the other librarians, as well as my staff picks bookmark. It is really hard to pick three favorite books, or four in the case of the bookmark. I finally had to just pick some and then make the conscious decision not to ever look at it again so I don't second-guess my choices.

Other things also probably happened today.

Tonight was Chipotle night but I was flying solo. My sister is still not talking to my mom and because I didn't side fully with her I am apparently guilty by association. Whatever, she's got until Sunday to figure shit out because if she's still holding onto this grudge and skips out on my graduation dinner then it is my turn to be a dick.

Tonight I was super productive. I responded to the last two group websites and responded to a couple classmates who left comments on my group website. I also submitted my capstone video and the capstone link itself. That link was due on Sunday and for the life of me I don't know why I didn't submit it. I was done with my portfolio but for some reason I didn't submit the link. It's a pass/fail class and the record on the site shows I haven't edited it since Sunday, so it's not like I was still working on it, and losing a couple points won't hurt me, but it is still frustrating that I slipped up like that.

I spent a decent chunk of my evening compiling my reflective journal for my practicum. It took awhile to track down everything I wrote about it in my regular journal but I only had to do a little editing to get it to make sense as a standalone journal. I submitted it via the assignment link but it is meant to be posted in the discussion thread. It is over eleven pages long though so putting it in a discussion post would be a little ridiculous. I sent my adviser a message to clarify my action and let her know I could post it to the discussion thread if that would be easier for her. I sent the supervisor evaluation to my supervisor yesterday, and we have a wrap up meeting on Thursday, so the only thing I have left to do is my personal evaluation. That has to be less than two pages and I just have to talk about my experience, so that will be really easy. I should be able to knock it out tomorrow.

If I can do that, I think I'm done. The capstone is completely done and the only thing I would have left for the conference class is to respond to anyone who comments on my group website. I will still have the assessment project for my practicum to finish but that has gone outside the scope of the semester. I would also like to finish the Twine story I started at some point but that has to take a backseat to everything else.

I'm so freaking close.

On a last note, my skateboard arrived today. At least I assume it did because a long box arrived today from the company I ordered my skateboard from. I didn't actually open the box, however, because I said I wouldn't until I finish all of my schoolwork (my the assessment project stuff). Soon.


Going back to the assessment project for a minute, I think my goal should be to finish it before August 12th because that is when No Man's Sky comes out. That seems like a good goal.
