I've had all my finals. Official last day of the semester is tomorrow, but the last final I had to take was yesterday. I think my school started earlier than most, and we also had spring break earlier than most.
The end of this semester was pretty brutal for me; three of the four classes I was taking had presentations as part of the final. I do not like talking in front of people. There were also a lot of tests crammed in at the end. Is that normal? It hasn't been for me, but I haven't been in the most normal of curriculums until this year, and the end of the term just seemed to sneak up on everybody. Went from having tests every three weeks or so to a test every week. I'm really glad I knew at least one of my presentations from the start and could plan ahead of time, because those also seemed to sneak up and give me a couple weeks or less to prepare them. I literally threw one of them together in the course of an afternoon. This does not bode very well for the accelerated courses over the summer. I tried to keep two of my classes nice and fluffy so I could focus on the math. Hopefully I won't end up doing presentations in those...
I think I'll spend the next two weeks napping before I have to start up again. Might have to bug the financial aid office, though. Bah.
Oh, and I'll also have to go out and celebrate with Japanese food, but that should be more fun than bugging people for money.
Hope Johnny's feeling better, Lila. Poor guy. I thought repeated exposure was supposed to make the body more resistant, this thing must be nasty.
What reason had proved best ceased to look absurd to the eye, which shows how idle it is to think anything ridiculous except what is wrong.

Busy. New duties at work keepin' me busy, but I'm still flyin'.
Hopin' to make D*C this year. Should have the coin, but findin' a room may present a problem since word has it all the hotels have been booked up since Dec or Jan.

HUGS Rose... ooh good luck sweety. I know you'll kick butt!!!
Whoo for Marion the Librarian.... ok just kidding sweety:) I'm happy for you.

Greenka61- how did you get to be Marion the librarian anyway??? Don't you have to have a degree in library science to do that?? To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.

In Nevada, there are a number of courses you have to take to get certified as a school librarian, but if you want a high school library, having a MLIS really helps. Other states require you to have one.
I finished my MLIS in December. (Actually, Firefly arrived in the mail the very last week of grad school. I almost didn't get my paper finished because watching Firefly was so much more fun- how did this show ever get cancelled?!).
Ah, yes. Marion the librarian. You've never been to a party with a bunch of librarians, have you?
To quote Michael Moore:
"I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group. They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them.
We subversive librarian-types like showing students how to find things online, (like which books are banned and should therefore be read ASAP), and how to look up the tax returns of politicians (it's interesting - and fun! - to find out where their money comes from.) And we can show them reference sources for their papers that they never dreamed existed, not to mention, get them to read for the fun of it.
I love my job.

My librarian friends are fun people. Crazy in a good way, and almost a little scary sometimes, but fun!
They take care of books and safeguard knowledge, it is a sacred calling IMO. (I am sooo jealous! But I suck at keeping track of stuff.
)DONE. I AM DONE WITH THE SEMESTER.
(Okay except for one student who didn't put their name on their final exam and I have to make sure it's them. After that I'm done.)

oooh what courses...tell me more. HUGS Green:)
Oh I know librarians are trouble...just like teachers.
The school I used to teach at got a grant to do our pre-school meetings at a hotel in Park City and we got kicked out. Apparently they weren't expecting a group of teachers to be so " rowdy" LOL.
Anyone who has never been a teacher assumes we're all like we behave in class. Rule bound, serious etc... HAHAHAHA
YAY for Rosie and the finished final To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.
