I'M DONE!

yay! I'm done with my website!!!! *sighz*

Wow, so this week is our last week. I can't believe how fast this summer has gone by. In a few weeks I'll be off to college....kinda of a scary thought....and I'll be living on my own.

I have to order a laptop for school...any suggestions on a reliable notebook computer for the year? Whatelse...x-tra long twin comforters...haha.

I'm out.

M & M

The other day Julie fed a squirrel some M&M's...and we watched the squirrel eat them...it was amusing. blah

Valpo Trip

I know it's actually been a few days since the Valpo trip but I just now found time to update. I thought it was a beautiful library, the architecture was awesome and the food was good too. I enjoyed the tour of the library, especially the automatic book thing. Also the posters the Valpo students made were a cute idea. The presentation by the students was well done. The movie that was presented, Lord of the Librarians? was hilarious! I'm done for now.

bye.

Heat Wave

My goodness, it is so hott outside it's ridiculous! I had to walk to the BIC this morning and afternoon and I felt like I was fried into a shish kabob. My second day in the BIC wasn't so bad. The people down there seem to be pretty laid back, which is nice. I got to work at exactly 8 am but the BIC was still closed, so I waited for about 15 minutes and Scott came and opened the doors. I continued where I left off last week with the inventory check, which I again finished rather quickly. Then I did something called SPSS? I don't remember exactly what it's called but I was recording the comments an audience had to a presentation by Stephen Hayes. I cleaned up some shelves for an open house that is going to be held there and then I was off. I am now in payroll, enjoying the luxury of AC.

peace.

Rainy Days

The Chicago trip was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the tour of the Chicago Public Library. It was so nice to see people actually utilizing the facilities and resources the library has to offer. Walking the streets of the downtown with Eirene was also blast. She made the bus ride there and back quite entertaining as well. We'd been planning a trip out to Chicago for awhile and Thursday happened to be the most opportune time.

Lucky me I got to sleep in the next day, since we didn't have to be at work until 10:00. It was raining really hard by the time I left the house, I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to walk in it. Fortunately by the time I got to Hesburgh the rain wasn't so bad. Liz drove us to the Career Center so we wouldn't have to walk which was nice...we're a lazy bunch. I didn't even know that there was something called a career center. I mean it's pretty cool that there's a place to go to help find a person find a job or build a resume.

On our way to lunch the rain started up again, CRAZY-style. I felt so prepared b/c I had an umbrella. It never occured to me to grap an umbrella before leaving the house, but someone was nice enough to lend me theirs. As I was leaving La Fortune a bird pooped on my shirt. Quite a misfortunate event, but what can you do. Life goes on.

Until next time...

I'm out.

Late

Today my new schedule started. It's not so bad thus far, except everyone I work with is in some meeting which leaves me time to update my blog. I had to check the inventory but that didn't take to long. I have highlighter marks all over my hands b/c I was using highlighters to cross off the books on the list.

I woke up at 7:30 today!!! I was running really late but I ended up getting out of the house a little earlier than usual (not sure how, but I did). So I was thinking I'd make it to work on time even though BIC is quite a hike from where I park. I guess my brain wasn't functioning or something because while I was driving I ended up on Juniper, which is obviously closed...and I KNEW that!!! I guess I was so confident that I'd make it to work on time that I got screwed in the end. To make the long story short, I got to work 10 minutes late due to my lack of attention to where I was going. I guess that's what I get for waking up late. ah well.

Later gators!
