School daze

And the fun continues!

 

I still can’t believe how fast my first semester of grad school is going!  As of Sept. 27th one of my three classes has already been completed.  Now I am concentrating on the remaining two…and the work has not let up. Three classes don’t sound like much, but I think the work load is about double that of an average undergrad class.  I really love using my brain again (something that didn’t happen the last year of my old job!) and the topic is actually applicable to things in which I’m interested.

 

I am finding however that my work is about 3/4 computer science and 1/4 library/archival theory.  In fact, the first three ‘core’ courses are:

1) Information and Society

2) Information Retrieval Systems

3) Information Organizations and Management

 

When I first applied to the program I thought the “I” in my MLIS program was just an extra vowel, but I sure am earning my science portion of this degree!
