I’m in my second semester of the MLIS program and, since I’m not past the 19-credit threshhold to switch to Special Session, I’m therefore limited in my class selections to those available to Regular Session students. I really enjoyed Dr. Stephens’s style in INFO 200, so I decided to take his INFO 287 course as well. I don’t yet have an area of emphasis for the program. I joined assuming that I would obviously become a public librarian, but the more that I explore, the more appealing archives and museums become. We’ll see.
This semester, I’m looking forward to implementing on Day 1 all the systems that grew out of necessity last semester. My class load is greater, but I think I know what to do this time to stay on top of it. Fingers crossed.
I’m not a social media person. I don’t have a Facebook or Instagram or whatever the kids are using these days. My accounts are purely to access the unending stream of videos I receive via private message. Thus, I won’t be posting my photos or such. I will, however, give you this link to one of my favorite poems: Breathe.
Update (21 April 2024):
This did not age well. As you can see, my picture is up. I still don’t post to socials, but then again neither do most people my age anymore. We burned out during the first wave.
Hello Jeanna,
It’s nice to meet you! I do find that taking various classes of interest opens a lot of new doors, so perhaps you’ll find yourself somewhere completely unexpected 🙂
I love the poem you shared! Especially when it got to the part where, “For the forest said nothing, it just let her breathe”. Sometimes it can get overwhelming, but it’s important to remember that even after the rain comes, the sun will shine again 🙂
@jeanna Thank you for your kind words about 200! This course offers a lot of opportunity to explore the various types of information environments, so please do so as we move through all the modules. Totally cool to look at archives and museums as well.
