Day 67: Only Work Today, But I Forgot!

I forgot to mention! I had told you all about my exams, but didn't think to share if my impressions were borne out by my final grades.

Which they did, more or less.

I think I did a few percentage points worse on my information and society exam than I had expected, but all in all, I got exactly the grades I had expected (not the ones I'd hoped, but the ones I expected).

Which means I passed my first term of my Masters program! And well! What a relief!

I checked it with Jon there giving me hugs and literally cried I was so happy.

I guess I'd been more worried about it than I gave myself credit for...

Day 27: Everything's going so well!

Today's lesson is a bit of a remnant from last week, but I figure you can handle it. There's an odd thing about library school: The vast majority of the work is group work.

This often means headaches and logistical nightmares of trying to divide the work fairly and always feeling simultaneously like you're slacking and your partner thinks they're doing all the work, and feeling like you're doing everything yourself. But so far, that hasn't been my experience at all. In fact, today just taught me.

Lesson 26: Buckle down! If you just sit with your partner and talk through the whole project, some things can be done in an afternoon.

My partner and I just sat down and did our authority record project between class and our lab last week, and even though it isn't due for another two weeks, we handed it in today. I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever completed something so far in advance of the due date. It feels amazing!
