"I got my Masters!" Graduation 2016 Recap

Well team, I did it. I now have a Masters in Library and Information Science. I am currently experiencing a mix of emotions, mostly excited and proud, with a small hint of nervousness for what comes next.

It was a lovely weekend for graduation. My dad came down for the celebration and boy, in true Fargo fashion, we shoved a lot of great stuff together in only a few days. But personally, I wouldn't have it any other way. So a recap, filled with pictures and links. Enjoy!

Graduate School is Wrapping Up

Hello all! It's been a while so I thought an update post would be in order. I just finished my last semester of graduate school! As I've been telling everyone, it was definitely an anti-climatic finish. My three classes did not have any final projects or big papers -- everything was manageable. Now I have a week off where I'll sleep in a bit, finish up my job at the residence hall libraries, and get ready to graduate.

Why I Do What I Do

The past couple of weeks have gone by in a blur. Things have not always gone as planned (like a laptop that wouldn't turn out and a lock that dropped a pin making it impossible to leave my apartment). I've done some really exciting things (went on some interviews) but then have also felt burned out from other responsibilities that eat up my time. I'm tired but it seems that my life is moving ahead 110% and I'm just trying to keep up.

Hello spring!

Classes have started and let me tell you, I'm ready.

Granted, I don't have any classes on Tuesdays but that is besides the point! 

2016 is going well. Got some crock pot action going on (a crock pot luck to be exact). 

Plus I'm all organized...(see picture). Finally, all those important articles I've read have a spot to call home (not in a messy pile somewhere in my apartment). And I even have a whole folder for articles to read. I'm on top of it, I promise. 

On deck this spring are three classes and clarinet lessons. Then...I graduate. Holy man, it feels like just the other day I was writing about muffins on my undergrad blog.

Lots has happened since then. 

So huzzah, let's get this semester rolling. I hope to write more posts about library science things (weeding, collection development, supervising, programming, etc) while keeping you up to date on my life and my hyperlink obsession (it's not too bad...yet). 

And with that, I'll leave you with a picture of me and two #rad gals I'm lucky to call some of my closest friends.
