The end of the semester post

I checked. Sweb accounts will remain active/untouched as long as we're students, at least. So the really excellent awesome website I created will be there for the foreseeable future. Also, my pathfinder will have free posting for a small while. I appreciate that, UK.
I do not appreciate the freezing rain that is making it very difficult for me to drive back to the library and work on my pathfinder as I wish. Way to make life difficult, KY. I can sit here and figure out all of my electronic sources, but all of my hard copies will still have to be found and annotated tomorrow morning. Joy. I love getting up early on a Friday.
For that matter, at 5 after I turn in my pathfinder, I get to work on my research paper for this class. I've done the research (fancy that!) so I just need to pull it together by midnight. I really hope it's by midnight. I've been assuming it's a midnight deadline, but looking back, I really don't know. Regardless. It's getting turned in at midnight.
So. By midnight tomorrow I will be done with everything but my 601 final which is essays which I rock. So, you know, go me.
I feel as if I haven't necessarily addressed the topics we were supposed to address with these blogs. I think I've vaguely stayed on a LIS oriented track, but as for addressing issues in library science today, I have strayed. I do love web 2.0 so I have addressed that more, but as for other issues? I'm still a little in the dark. If anyone knows any really cool happenings, let me know.

It's the end of the world, as we know it.

So I still haven't decided what to do with my paper. I know, he said start it weeks and weeks ago, but I was an english major and papers are how I do. I'm thinking something involving web 2.0 because clearly that is what I'm interested in. I can't help that browsers make all of these social networks and folksonomical things incredibly easy to access. My del.ici.ous and twitter are part of Firefox. I totally dig that. Now, just to find some scholarly way of putting "I totally dig that" into a paper.
Not to mention the html project. I haven't been worrying about this since I have some vague html knowledge and I know C and Java for pete's sake. That will not help me here, I gather. Regardless. Panic is unbecoming.
The pathfinder that was due today with no penalty turning it in until Friday? Uh buh. I have been sincerely shirking my duties and feeling generally okay about it. I refuse to get all anxious and ill when I'm already all viral and ill. If I screw this up, then so it goes. Yes, I could have applied myself and done much better. Story of my life. I have only thrown myself full-heartedly into one thing ever. I was really good at it. But see where that got me? If you do not know my past with Jon, this is over your head, but suffice to say: trying does not guarantee success.
Not trying does guarantee mediocrity. I'm kinda cool with that. Lower expectations and whatnot, right?
Right.
Note to self: Remember to take Lisa O'Connor's class (625) next spring. Instructional something or other. That sounds helpful and I love her.

Je tweet.

Wow. Seems as if I missed November completely. I'll scurry and make a few more entries before the semester ends and see if I can't catch up.
I joined Twitter today. It is the most mindboggling of the web 2.0 sites to me. I don't really understand. I can't find anyone I know... I only joined to follow webcomic characters from Questionable Content. That is sad to me, but now I get more facets to their fictional lives. It's like extra comics every day. Jeph Jacques is a funny, clever dude.
But now I'm on there and I feel like a crotchety old lady because I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do. I just stare at it? Update my status whenever I wish? I already do that on facebook.
So I'm not ruling it out yet. I also thought del.ici.ous was unweildy at first also, and now I use it often, if not well. That's something.
That excel project for 636 was fun. It was fulfilling and just the right amount of challenge once I figured everything out. I'm a little worried about the HTML project. I feel like I know what I'm doing and that feeling worries me. I think I'll start it soon and try to integrate my pathfinder into it and kill two birds with one stone. Because those birds totally deserve it.
