I might just live

Surprisingly enough I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel they call library school. It was debatable last week, when I was in one of the worst moods that has hit in a long time and I was swamped with work. But things are better now. I really only have 3 big projects to get finished (and some blogging for my online class) before next Wednesday. I will officially end my time as a student at midnight December 6 when the last assignment is due.

I can't see myself joining the madness of school again anytime soon, but we know how seductive the Ph.D. strikes me as now and again. Yes, I realize that I used the words seductive and Ph.D. in the same sentence.

Last night was the final trivia evening at the Grad Club. I didn't keep the answer sheet, or else I could have shared some random trivia with you. Such as what country used to be known as Siam? Thailand. Who has scored the highest number of goals in the NHL after Wayne Gretzky? Gordie Howe. Who publishes the Watchtower Magazine? The Jehovah's Witnesses.

Given my fascination with various religious groups, you can likely guess which answer I contributed. Our power trivia team did quite well, though I still think they should have had a special "library round" to weed out (no pun intended!) those pesky Chemistry students.

Monday night I rewarded myself for a weekend of hard work and a pretty stellar presentation by going to see Jill Barber at the Salt Lounge. She put on a great show, and is just the most lovely person with a gorgeous voice. Becca and I both bought her new CD and she signed them for us too. She also has that great style I wish I could pull off - cute dresses with tights and killer boots. I need to try that in my professional wardrobe when I get to that point. Mandy, she is coming to the UofA on December 7th - you should really try to go and see her if you like the sound of her MySpace page.

Oh and a quick update on the job front - this week I applied to jobs in Virginia and in Washington D.C. The D.C. job sounds AMAZING and how wonderful would it be to live there for a year or two? Just need to be patient and get through the next week before I worry too much about employment.

Hope all is well in your respective parts of the world.
Love, Susan
