snapdragon76Well, I survived my first day of my Practicum. Even though we had periods of lulls, it was still pretty exhausting. I was originally going to go to the campus library afterwards to do some schoolwork, but by the end, I was too tired and my feet were killing me, so I opted to go home. I was tempted to pick up some takeout, since at this point I was starving, but I didn’t. Mostly because I knew mom was going to fix Mexican lasagna for dinner tonight. One day this week I may cave, though.
I learned quite a bit today. I learned how to check in books and how to check them out to the students. I also stamped the library name on some new books that arrived and have yet to be entered into the system. I also explored the shelves and learned where the different books were located and how they were organized. Different libraries do it differently. Since it’s a small library, there isn’t a lot of space, but they seem to make do with what they have.
I also rearranged the children’s magazines and re-labeled the shelves they were on. The library even has its own pet, a guinea pig named Gus. There are even kids who come in and are ‘helpers’ and feed him (with supervision) and take pictures of him and keep a log. He’s very cute.
Since I’ll be going in every day for 8 hours at a stretch, I’ll probably be finished with my Practicum by mid-October or thereabouts. Which will be nice, since it’ll give me a chance to concentrate more on my classwork. And I’ll need it! That Seminar class looks to be rough! Oy! But, I need to make sure I stay focused so that I can pass and be able to graduate as well as maintain my GPA so that I can keep my KDP membership.
I don’t think I’ll have any problem getting to sleep tonight. I do have a doctor’s visit on Thursday that I have to leave early for. I need to ask her about the major pain I keep having in my back. It seems to be getting worse, which is something I don’t need. I did go to the chiropractor and get a readjustment, which helped a bit, but it seems to be getting worse. I’m worried it’ll cripple me one of these days…
