Change Is Hard

…but change is certain.

Papers and tests and presentations…oh my!

The paper that is due tomorrow has been done since Saturday.  I spent today improving my web/ruby skills in anticipation of the practical midterm on Tuesday evening.  Sometimes I think I get it!  I can do the assignment that the prof says the test  will be based on.  As long as he sticks to that I think I can pass.  Given I don’t forget to breathe.

My presentation on Thursday is less put together.  I wrote the paper that goes with it last week, but one of my group members wanted to edit it, and I can’t get his subsequent edits to open so I don’t know what he wants changed.  Plus the other group member doesn’t want anything changed.  And group member 1 is supposed to supply discussion questions and I haven’t seen any yet.  So that will all get worked out in the next couple of days. 

And I also spent time this weekend working on my group project for the collection class, reviewing other library’s collection policies and pulling out the sections that I’m responsible for writing in our fictious  policy.  I have quite a bit of good data, just need to print it all up to see it as a whole, and pull out the best stuff for our project. 

I even thought some (not much) about my last paper for the professional practices class.  I have my topic and first paragraph ready to turn in Thursday.  So really, I’m sort of sitting pretty this evening.  I’ll be staying in AA again, it makes it so much easier to be at work at 9 if I’m not driving from here. 

All of this has made me very tired.  And started me thinking; wondering how many more days (ie weekends) do I have to spend like this?  Let’s check the calendar and see…(here’s where you hum your elevator music while I’m counting …)  Thirty-eight days (including weekends) and I’ll be finished with my last ever in this lifetime final exam!

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.
