Yesterday was my first day of graduate school. Yay! I had two classes, one on research and one was a general intro to information science class. I had also signed up for a management class and an organization class (a.k.a. cataloging.) All required courses for the degree. After experiencing six hours of the required courses, I decided I needed to drop one and add something different. It was just a little too much for me. I dropped management and added an intro to preservation class. I'm very excited about it. I think this whole graduate school thing is going to work out just fine. It's only two years!
On a less positive note, I bought my books today. It was a painful $250 - and I still have to get whatever preservation books they require. I had some time after I got home, so I thought I'd give the textbook for the intro class a whirl. Two chapters in and I was out cold. (see picture above) Now, maybe it was because I stayed up a little late last night, or got hot and tired walking around campus or the fact that I was reading in bed, but I thought it was kind of a bad sign. I was warned about the dry and boring qualities that some library books have. It wasn't THAT bad though I haven't read a textbook in over two years. I'll get back into the swing of things. Next time I'll have some caffeine.
