Done for the Semester

I am happy to say that I am done for this semester. I can't believe I made it. I keep expecting one of my professors to corner me in a dark alley and inform me that I have to write another ten page paper. Which brings me to the reason I haven't updated in almost a month. I had two 10 page papers which ate my soul. It's ok though because the soul has been restored through the watching of Torchwood and the visiting of Carnegie museums and libraries.

The Carnegie Public Library in Oakland is so freaking amazing. I went in there today and seriously had a librarygasm. I checked out as much books as I could carry. It was swell. None of these books had anything to do with the library profession. I'm kind of burnt out on it right now. The next three weeks will be reading and writing for me.

The Natural History museum was awesome as well. I saw the dinosaur exhibit through the windows in the library and was like, what the hell, man. I mean, I'm finished for the semester except for work next week so I figured I might as well go for it. The dinosaur skeletons are awesome. The mineral exhibit is really cool too. I didn't go into the art museum for long because I had just come from the library with my backpack and security told me I couldn't have it in the gallery. I figured I'd been walking around long enough anyway. Tomorrow, I might go back and see the rest of it. I need things to do for the next week. I figured I would check out the Warhol museum and get some christmas shopping done. That would be helpful.

Any suggestions on what a swinging archivist should do in Pittsburgh? Seems like I should know by now seeing as how I've lived there since August. I've been busy writing disaster plans and literature reviews. I included zombies in the disaster plan. You gotta plan for this stuff. Anything can happen. You have to protect your valuable archival collections from becoming zombie noms.

I should not blog at 2am. Goodnight, friends.
