GPA

So I just got my final grades from Facts.org – I DID NOT end the semester with two B’s and an A…but rather….TWO A’s and ONE B+!  Yay!  My overall GPA is 3.8 out of 4.0…..so that should tell you I ROCK, and that I deserve a job! With lots of moooo-la! lol.  I’m as giddy as a school girl! But HAH I’m no longer a school girl!

Yes, the delirium has spread to my brain :-)

Grades

Got the final grades today!

Yes, this semester I had poorer grades then previous ones, but two B’s out of 16 A’s isn’t horrible (I’m not quite sure if it’s 16, but the rest were all A’s so bite me)

Collection Development – 94 – A (YAY!)

Adult Services – 82 or 86 – B (Yay! Grade could have been higher if I had posted more but it was a short semester – I really enjoyed that class for sure.)

Info Sources for the humanities – 88 – B (Yay! I don’t know how I managed that grade…I HATED that class, mostly b/c I was rewriting the text book for the teacher and I don’t get the royalities….seriously)

So all in all I’m a pretty awesome student at this library thing :-P When I know my official GPA I’ll post it, but lets just say it’s awesome.

Life is good – Just trying to find a job, hope I hear something by the end of this week…

Work is okay….I’m ready to start telling one coworker just how it is.  She’s crossing too many lines and my boss isn’t doing anything about it.  Besides she told me to say things to her, so I will – I just won’t be as nice any longer – I have to be direct.  I think that’s the hardest thing to do, I can drop hints till I’m blue in the face but she doesn’t get it, so I’m just going to have to say things directly and forcefully, b/c it’s become hazardous for her to be in the room.  No good.

I think I’m sick or something, I’m all head congestion-ee, and stuffed nose.  No good – but no cough, I need to go get more cold and sinus drugs b/c we’re out.

That’s about it – I have to take pictures of the house for tara, and I guess anyone else, but I need to clean first, and I won’t lie, I’m enjoying this freedom thing :-P Like Crochetting, Playing Wii (I’m thiiiiissss close to beating Super Paper Mario! Joy!) Even Cleaning!

Alright, going to perform a nose-appendectomy.

Peaceful Ahhhhhhhh

Breathe in….Breath out….Peace overflows you…

Yep that’s how I feel right now, I just finished my last class assignment for my summer classes, which means I’m finished with Grad School! I’m excited but also nervous to see how I did in the classes…so I’m holding my breathe until July 25th, when the grades have to be in.

Until then I’ll have my Harry Potter :-) Which I’m going to go get in about 1 hour :-D I’ve never done the midnight release thing so it should be interesting.

UPDATE: I have my book and read it in 11 hours and 45 mins….One child from my school guessed that I could read it in 12 hours….so he gets a candy bar.  The midnight release was fun but I really dislike people who talk…err should i say Broadcast, the spoilers to people who have no choice but to listen.  It’s rude and inconsiderat and those people should be shot at with paintball guns.

But back to this whole school thing, or rather the lack thereof…

I have mixed emotions about it all. I’m very happy and exuberant that I’m finally finished, but I feel a little lonely, b/c I know I’ll have to take control of my free time. It’s not even that I’ll have to get a “real job” and “work” – that doesn’t bother me b/c I’ve done it the entire time I have been in school, undergrad and graduate. Yeah sometimes I took a few weeks off to get stuff done, but more or less I’ve worked my butt off to get thru school in 2.5 years (when it normally takes 2 years). So you could say that I’m proud of myself….b/c I deserve to be.

The other thing that worries me not being able to relax, always thinking something is due, or that I should be doing something else besides “having fun.” It will definitely be a transition. I’m still considering selling Creative Memories stuff, but not until I’ve gotten a “real” job and know what my hours are like, and after I’ve had some time to re-arrange the house some. Probably not until after Labor day, at the very least.

And now I’m trying to find a job…it’s kinda exciting being able to say, “Yes I’m a LIBRARIAN” and not have to sell myself “Yes, I am a MLIS student but I’m determined to work in libraries…” while it’s worked for me in the past, it’s not always fun and games. I have applied for one position and I’m actually excited about it – so I really hope I get an interview. Otherwise I’m still looking.

So there is this looooonnngggggg list of things “To-Do AFTER school is over…forever…” – allow me to expand:

  • Post-it note: When I have a life – Google Criss Angel (from Tara)
  • Call Rival about our seal a meal (on refrig)
  • Spend time with Matthew
  • Change my bills to different times of the month
  • Redo the guest room (move desk in, reorganize craft stuff, etc…)
  • Do some crochet projects
  • Do some scrapbooking (esp on my mom’s! Yikes!)
  • Throw away all the school stuff I don’t need
  • Reorganize my filing cabinents
  • Read the mound of books that I want to read
  • Reformat my computer
  • Play Wii..specifically Super Paper Mario
  • Have a few parties
  • See my friends
  • Go on a vacation
  • Sleep in

And I think that’s all…I definitely have many things I want to do, but we’ll see if it happens.  Okay time to shower and get ready to face the day.

Harry Potter and School

Sooo I thought that I would write a blog about the new Harry Potter book coming out on July 21st. I do have mine on pre-order, so no worries my pretties. But I thought that I would write about what I thought was going to happen but as I thought about it I realized that I hate trying to predict what may happen…I don’t even want to think about whether or nor Harry, Ron, or Hermoine die….I don’t want to think that could happen, even if it does – I won’t be the one jinxing it. Sooo I really don’t know what is going to happen, other then Harry kicking Lord Voldemort’s butt. That’s about it. I can’t wait for it to come out – depending on what time I finish my class stuff I’ll get my book either July 20th at Midnight or the following Saturday…but I have to brave the crowds to do it :-/ We shall see.

My parents have been up here for the past few days. They bought us a sweet grill as a house warming gift and then helped us put in a patio outside! It’s sweet! And my mom planted flowers for me..so hopefully something will grow :-< I have to say that my house is looking pretty awesome. Oh and my mom has been cleaning my kitchen :-) that makes me very happy. And they REALLY like our house and that makes me feel really good. I kinda wish that they lived closer to us :-( I know my mom wants to but my dad can’t do it. Maybe in the future.

Oh and I have like 15 days until I’m done with school for GOOD! But I have a few things to get done….they are:

  • Treasure Hunt Questions – 7/15
  • Info Sources Paper – 7/16
  • Discussion Board Questions (Lead Discussion) 7/15
  • Disc. Board activity (Info Sources) – currently till the end
  • Disc Board questions for Coll Dev. – 7/10 & 7/20
  • Coll Dev Final Paper – 7/20
  • Adult Services Disc. Board Participation (3 x’s each week!!!)
  • Adult Services Final Paper: Due Tuesday of Week 10 (7/16).

Sooo that’s about it – once I get this stuff done I’m done forever!!! Woooohoooo but I need to crack down and get my butt in gear. Seriously sooo much to do! These huge projects (one in each class) are going to take a lot of energy.

Oh and I applied for a job today – so I’m hoping next week I’ll be hearing something! Keep you’re fingers crossed!

Alright sooo that’s it for a few days – TTYL!

Books 2

I was informed that my link to my catalogue wasn’t working so I’m C&P’ing my list here – these are all the books I received at ALA – well except a few that haven’t been added yet. The ones with the $ means they were signed and the ones with * means they are freebies – Enjoy!

Check out my catalogue to see what else I have: ChieuyBananas Catalogue .

Grrrrr the c&p feature won’t work – You’ll have to give me some time to put things on here…but now my catalogue is public so it can be searched – if you search for ALA you’ll find a list of 36 or so of my books – the ones labeled giveaway are available for perusal. The ones signed are signed by the authors.

EDIT: Fixed the previous post – the links should be working correctly now.
