luciabOMG! It's going to be 70 today (well, okay, it's been 70 here several days this "winter." But that's still pretty damn fine, and it's going to be 77 tomorrow. Wow. Love them NC winters. Heh.
Took my Cataloging midterm last night and I don't feel like I did particularly well on it. And I don't mean in the way my lovely and talented daughter does-- when she says that it's only to worry about whether it's a 90 or a 95. Not that I think I flunked or anything but I'm afraid a C is a possibility. Insert angst here. What do I know? Maybe it's only a very remote possiblity. I'm just glad it's over. On to the Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress systems.
I'm looking at summer courses; I'd like to take 2. One of the 3 I'm considering is "Conceptual Knowledge Processing" with the same teacher I have in the Cataloging class. Man, do I dread that. The only good thing would be getting it over with in 5 weeks. What the hell is conceptual knowledge processing anyway, and how do they teach it? It makes me think of the first couple of weeks of cataloging when she was talking about "knowledge as thing" and the difference between knowledge and information. Some of it seemed so obvious I kept looking for what she REALLY meant. She'd spend an hour on something that should have taken about 10 minutes. And I have 5 weeks of that to look forward to! Another woman who works at the library is taking it, too, so we'll be able to commiserate.
Oh, and I got a check last night from the state: back pay for 3 months worth of disability payments. I'd really like to take it and pay off bills like the credit card, but then I realize that's half of all I might be getting from them, and maybe I need to save it for things like, oh, say, RENT. But then, if I had those bills paid off, the rent would be a lot easier.... I hate budget stuff. I definitely need to win the lottery. Yeah, now THERE's a good solid practical thing to plan on.
Okay, back to the to-do list. Like going to the bank. Heh.
