I have a literature review due October 17. I leave for England on the 6th and return on the 16th… so the next four days are devoted to writing 16-20 pages on virtual communities from the articles you see above. It is incredibly interesting and feels like some of the most challenging writing I have ever done!

Bumped into a new SJCPL librarian outside the building this afternoon. He’s starting the MLS program via IUPUI. We talked GRE, math horror stories and about the mysteries of UNIX. He started the conversation with “Did you just take the GRE?” Mind racing I thought he’d been at the testing center or had seen me racing away from it after commiting to my scores (don’t ask! — i almost laughed out loud at some of the math parts)…. “I read your blog” he said.

One of the reuirements of my program is having GRE scores. I took it last in a steaming hot room at IU Bloomington in Summer 1986. I’m off to the Test center now for a four hour computer-based test. I hate math!

Hello from Texas!! We are back! The cohort lost a member and gained a member over the summer. A picture will follow as soon as I can get one. This weekend is devoted to a class called “Seminar in Communication and Use of Information” taught by Dr. Linda Schamber. It is incredibly interesting, will be challenging but will give us a big push toward the final outcome of this process. More in a bit…

We spent the weekend getting to know each other, the faculty and generally freaking because of how new this academic experience was to all of us. After that weekend, we were responsible for completing 3 courses for a total of 9 credit hours online. The ladies in the cohort are neat folks. I enjoyed every minute we spent together.
