Off to the races of another semester
Entering my second week of the spring semester, I can see time management and organization is going to be a necessity, not a quaint idea that might apply to me. Here’s the line-up:
On the library side, I’ve got
Library Networks and Systems (yay!)
Archives Management (maybe I’ll discover a deep and abiding passion for musty old papers, but worst case scenario it’s five Saturdays with an excuse to go to South Beach).
On the MFA side it’s
Poetry Workshop (my only workshop this semester so I’m hoping to feel a bit more settled and productive)
US Women Writer’s of Color
Postcolonial Theory.
On the work side, I am doing my internship hours as an assistant for web projects based in the Digital Library. Right now, we’re working on a new titles podcast and I’m trying to resist the urge to buy my own iPod… but I don’t know how long I’ll last.
Put it all together and it looks like a sure bet that I’ll be hopping, days filled with reading and trying to wrap my head around new ideas. And more than a little writing, I hope, which brings me back to the unresolved question of what my blog might really have to offer the biblioblogosphere. The perspective of a library student seems to be well covered, not only by Wanderings of Student Librarian but also the blogs of recently graduated librarians or librarians without ML(I)S’s who are in the process of making it official. Others are better kept-up on technology and information trends. So, where does that leave me? As with most projects in my life, the only way of figuring it out is probably just to keep writing and see what churns up.
