It's Official!

I am now the owner of a sparkly new MLIS degree. Hurray!

The excitement of last week didn't pan out as I had thought. I got offered a job in Washington DC, and while the city would be oh-so-cool to live in, the job itself was not for me so I turned it down. I feel good about the decision, and fairly confident that something else will come along.

Today I learned that I've moved on to the next round for a job out west, but now have to plan a 15-20 digital recording of myself teaching. I'm not worried about the teaching part - just the technology aspect of things; eg. getting the digital recorder, using it and then burning my presentation onto a CD in the suitable format. But I'm sure once I get a good night of sleep and watch some good movies (I cleared Rogers' out today!) my head will feel clearer about all of this.

Tomorrow I will be attending an MS Global Dinner Party at my friend Maureen's house in Dundas. "The MS Global Dinner Party is a unique international fundraiser – instead of collecting pledges for an activity, participants host a dinner party to raise money for multiple sclerosis. Guests bring a cash donation to the party rather than the more traditional host gift of flowers or wine. Funds raised go to research projects in both Canada and abroad in the international community." MS is a cause very close to my heart and this is such a creative approach to a fundraiser.

I caught a couple of movies this week, including Bridge To Terybithia (good but sad) Music & Lyrics (dissapointing), and Little Children (Kate Winslet was awesome! I found the film disturbing and my worst nightmare on a multitude of levels)

Also made a grand return to the APK this week with Becca. On Monday we saw Coco Love Alcorn and a girl whose name I can't remember and feel too lazy to look up right now (will fix this later). Wednesday was Baby Eagle and Julie Doiron. It was good to be back there.
