On this windy, cold and somewhat snowy Saturday I am sitting in my local library, escaping Katie.  I finsihed my ten page paper that is due Monday night.  Unfortunately it is twelve pages, so I have significant editing to do still.  Most of it was done last night while Katie was sleeping, but this morning she is on active squirrel alert and it wasn’t possible to concentrate much.  Hence the trip to my local library.

I’m sitting at a lovely desk facing a wall of windows overlooking trees and wetlands.  It’s blowing something fierce outside and I’m glad I’m in here just watching the snow swirl around and listening to the wind roar.  The library is only open another hour today, and I’m already anticipating the biting cold as I head back for home.  I am grateful for this quiet haven complete with wireless access.  And no puppies allowed.  I couldn’t ask for more.  Well.  Except for maybe a sandwich or some soup.

I’m at a roadblock on my study for the web design midterm in all its practical glory.  Tuesday night I have to actually DO something (unknown exactly what at this point) to show my skills with Ruby and HTML.  Well.  That should be interesting.  I started assignment 6 with high hopes but got stuck on the second set of instructions.  So as usual, I have an SOS out to my classmates.  So far the answers aren’t helping much.  DO NOT PANIC.  I’m sure I’ll figure it out prior to Tuesday.  I really need to figure it out prior to MONDAY because I don’t have much time once the week starts to do much of anything but stay on track with my schedule.

So I have spent the time here at the library working on my part for two group projects.  One is a presentation next Thursday, the other is the big project for Collection Development that isn’t due till mid April.  Speaking of which, mid-April that is, there are only six weeks till my last ever in my lifetime final exam!  Of course that’s making the assumption I pass the midterm Tuesday…but still.
