So this is what I'm up to these days:
1. Work...when I'm not there I'm thinking about it. I just had my performance evaluation and I'm all hyped up on that. I got some great feedback on projects that we were considering doing or want to do and I've really been letting those things settle in my brain.
2. School...I have class today, my first class was last week. I'm taking Access to Information this semester which is really just the intro reference class. I had a small library visit project last week which will eventually lead up to a more major project at the end of the semester. This last project will require me to spend a lot of time observing the reference desk at two libraries...this will consume a lot of my precious free time. Today I'm meeting with my advisor to square away the rest of my classes at WSU...I'm pretty excited because I think I'm going to enjoy most of these classes. Next class project though is the encyclopedia assignment...which requires me to compare a variety of online and print encyclopedias. I think I'll be going to UMich's library on Thursday to complete this one.
3. Orchestra...the work I'm doing with the orchestra right now is actually frustrating me some and I wish not to speak about it at this time.
4. My Computer...I took it in on Thursday to see what was up. After they ran the diagnostics they found that the sound card is shot. By the way, the people at the computer place I went to were super nice! I like these guys a lot. Anyway, my computer is still not fixed, I decided on getting an external sound card (cost of replacement reasons mostly) and when they went to order it they said that it was on back order at all the major vendors they use...even the internet places had them on back order. I suggested that maybe everybody who owns my computer needs new sound cards about now :) Anyway, I have my computer back and they'll let me know when a new sound cars comes in...in the meantime I have to use Alex's computer if I need to watch any videos for school or anything like that. The guy at the computer place did fix some 600 registry errors on my computer though and he also mentioned that there is a power management issue with it but everything else is working excellently. The registry and power management errors don't surprise me much though. I try to take care of my computer the best I can but I have to admit it's mostly because I know I'm rough on it. My good friend jokes about my computer because it's huge...he calls it my "space heater" (can't complain it keeps my coffee warm in the morning), but the reason I went with this computer was because I tend to run a lot of memory intensive programs all at once. It's a good computer though, minus a few software issues I have with HP, I'm not dissatisfied with it. If I were to get a new computer I wouldn't mind a smaller, more portable one, but to be honest with you I think it would be hard for me to trade in the power of the one I have now.
That's all for now I suppose. I've been keeping a list of things I wanted to post about but I don't know when I'll be able to get to these. I haven't been reading my feeds much these days either, there's too much in my head and I don't really want to put any more in there right now.
