Lots of new

I began my first two classes of the semester in the last week. My third class doesn't start until February but I am already doing assigned reading.

Cataloging is going to be a lot of work, which I was expecting, but luckily the professor seems to understand that cataloging is not for everyone. It is the only class that we can really be tested on material because like math there is a correct and incorrect answer without any room for discussion, luckily the exams are take-home, that eases my nerves considerably.

Today I started my Library Management class, this professor's ego is so large that I am surprised that we fit into the room. And he did one of the things I cannot stand in professors, he assigned his own articles as assigned reading. It is better than assigning one's own book (since we then have to purchase said book) but it is still very frustrating. We are already getting his opinions during the lecture we do not need to read his opinions as well.

I also found a new route to class that seems to be a much better and faster way of getting there. Instead of taking the expressway I take a side street that is large enough to have proper traffic lights but small enough that it isn't used much during rush hour. Hopefully it will stay that way.

I went on my "interview" at the museum library that I want to volunteer. I don't really want to call it an interview because they are very happy to be getting free help from a library student and when I went to talk to them it wasn't a matter of if I could volunteer but what would I like to do. Assuming that the background check they did on me goes through, which should unless I committed a crime while sleepwalking, then I should be starting to volunteer on weekends soon. Most of what I will be doing is getting new books ready to be shelved but I am happy for the experience and ready to feel part of a library.
