weird things

[athene]

Tuesday night I went to an info session for Simmons College Library and Information Sciences. It was really informative. I don't think that I want to go to their program (it really is designed for part-time students and i want something more full time and also they don't have a lot of IT components at the Mt. Holyoke Campus).

After it was over I offered to drive this Hampshire student I was talking to back to Hampshire, so she wouldn't have to take the bus. We were talking about my wedding and stuff during the trip to see the Mt. Holyoke library. When she asked me how Aerith and I met, and I said a Vampire Game at UMass, she said I might know her friends. So we talk about things some more and I find out that not only is she involved in Excalibur at Hampshire, but her boyfriend is a high school friend of my ex-girlfriend. So we chat about gaming and things for a while after we get to Hampshire and then we trade e-mails. I know she has a livejournal, but I haven't really had time to go searching for it yet :) *sings "It's a Small Valley afterall"*

And yesterday on Angel Andrew was wearing a Strong Bad shirt. So cool!!!!!!

p.s. trek/sci-fi night is happening tonight. y'all better show up!!!

Andrew made me doubly happy last night, first with the Strong Bad (I bet HE was the one who got the Trogdor reference into the last Buffy and not Joss), then the tux.

How did you like the library? The couches that are (were?) on the science side by the connection to Dwight hall are among the world's comfiest.

it looks like a really nice library. Professor Plum (no i'm not kidding, that was his name), who ran the info session, said that they've made a lot of changes to the library recently, espcially in terms of removing the old card catalogs and puting in computers.

Cool. I haven't been in the library there since I graduated three years ago. Now I really want to see it!

yay for library school. be sure to check out the ALA website - it lists the schools (59 of them) that are ALA accredited (VERRRRY important when applying for a job). Simmons is actually one of the top 4 programs in the country, (Along with Michigan, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Illinois:Urbana-Champaign)

the problem w/simmons is that all of their classes are once a week for 3 hours. which is really good if you're working and want to go to school part-time. but i want to go to school full time. it seems like they are geared more for those who already have a good steady job and want/need to get the MLIS degree.

also, they're wicked expensive.

btw, how's UT Austin's MLIS program rated? actually, if you want to do a search for me for top library schools, i really want to focus on either digital archiving or some sort of academic library thing.

it really doesn't matter which library science school you go to, as long as it is one of the 56 ALA accredited ones.

here is da list!

a few of them even offer the degree completely online!

yup, i found the list a while ago. that's what's nice about searching for a library school.
