And, I’m done! My grades have come in and they make me pleased as a peach. It was a lot of work, a lot of late nights, and a lot of coffee, but it’s over for now!
My next challenge is this upcoming flight. I really dislike flying — a condition that started within the past few years — and don’t want to do it. But, my love for my parents and cat and home outweigh my anxiety about flying.
Onward!
I just announced my plans for my personal winter project to some of my classmates, and they’re interested!
Which name do you like better for an archival podcast? Arcast or Archivault? Or do you have another idea?
One reason I don’t think I want to go into academia: I feel like I obtain an artificial power that is too big for me when I make another person’s life (or people’s lives) into a few sentences of explanation.
I just need to document this somewhere public.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen a snow forecast in a place I lived:
Snow expected for November 9th in Madison!
Sometimes you really just have to come home, ignore the rest of the world, and close the door as you and your beau watch a movie.
I just finished writing a quick post over at the SLIS MetaDiners‘ blog. Check it out, and comment!
Here’s a crazy chart!
I nearly named this blog “Onward, Madison!” which was the name of the email Derek and I made up to have people RSVP to our going away party. The reason I decided NOT to name it was mostly because … soon I would simply be in Madison, and probably moving on somewhere else after that. If all goes well, I will still be writing after that!
Tonight is my last night in my parents’ home until … well, probably Christmas. In the morning, it is onward to the wedding of two good friends, and then! … Onward, Madison!
My heart’s going quickly. I am so happy to see my friends wed on Saturday. Nicole has been wonderful support to me, and Daniel has been such a good friend to Derek in such a short time. (Derek is really going to miss him) … I am currently writing the toast to these two great friends; right now, it feels very stiff, so I had a lot of rum to loosen that tongue up. ;)
I hope mere logistical issues do not get in the way of our roadtrip, on the way to Madison.
We will be visiting: Winnemucca, Nevada (rest stop); Nampa, Idaho (family); Bozeman, Montana (family); Grand Teton National Forest; Pinedale, Wyoming (staying at a family farm!); Boulder, Colorado (family friend); after Boulder, we will simply drive on through Nebraska and such until we reach Madison. We need to go that last 1000 miles in less than two days. The only place I really want to visit is Dubuque, because of the New Yorker magazine.
I hope I will be able to update, with some photos, from the road.
Here we go!
