Library Kvetchin'

I found out where I am assigned to for my practicum for Fall semester: the very library (Purdy-Kresge Library) that I'm sitting in now. This irks me a little bit: I had applied for a (paying) position here last winter, and even came in for an interview, but I didn't get the job. So now I have to pay a couple thousand dollars for the privilege. Plus, this library also functions as the base of operations for the Library and Information Science Program at WSU -- which makes sense, actually. But that means all my classmates will be audience to my innumerable screw-ups. Plus, I know a bunch of the people who work here -- WSU's graduate library is heavily staffed from LISP, rather than proper librarians. Which makes sense, too, but still... I sort of wish I were assigned to, say, U of M Dearborn, or one of the smaller universities in the area, where no one I know could watch me embarrass myself. Oh well...

Tonight is my last class for Summer semester; I still have my final project due (by Friday, 8:30AM), but no more lectures!
