My first thought was, all I really want is to live through this and put forth my best effort. We had been asked to do a lot of prep work before the class and I had just barely gotten that completed. We had been told there would be work during this week as well because it is one semester of class in a week. I really had no clear idea what that would look like…until I saw the day by day syllabus. Even the words on the paper didn’t seem real. On the syllabus, each night had assignments and most had two assignments per night. Wow, this is going to be a long week. The topic for today was public libraries. I work in a public library but it never surprises me how much I can learn from others speaking about their profession. It invigorated me. I was thinking during class WOW! I can go back to work and change some things. Oh wait I don’t have the degree yet!
In the afternoon the topic was searching techniques. I am discovering that the things I took away from the required reading are not the same things that the professor is focusing on. So for tomorrow we have to meet online to pick a topic for our group for a poster session on Friday. Meanwhile, we have a three to four page searching assignment to complete. Luckily, we had one to do before we arrived so I may be somewhat familiar with the process. It was definitely slow going. I am working on an old laptop, which has given me problems. This does not include the reception we attended and the effort it took to hook into the online security at Syracuse. It took me at best two hours to get my computer to play nice with the SU network. Oh well. Midnight is early right?
