Everything's easy now.
Tomorrow I find out if I want to go to grad school at Hollins or not. I'm not sure how I feel about Hollins for another three years. Can't continue the undergraduate education program, though. For one thing, I will never graduate. Second, they win: they beat me down and now I'm staying down... for now. Freaking jerks.
That being said, I'm noticing that the summer grad students here are jerks. Man, talk about snobs. Yeah you have your B.A. Congratulations. Now please get over yourself.
Working in the library is completely different as I basically just run errands for grad students until I can barely trudge back to my room at night. I told my boss that I need a shirt saying "I AM NOT COMPUTER SERVICES" because so many of the older grad students are computer illiterate. I sympathize with them, but I can't spend my entire shift tutoring them on microsoft. I also can't fix the printers and copiers. But the lucky jerks over at comp serv. leave at 4:30, leaving me 5 1/2 hours of fun time with the helpless patrons in the library.
And I'm sorry, but our online catalog is the simplest and most complete of any online catalog I have ever seen. Grrrr.
End rant... maybe.
The good news is that going to work at 2pm suits me wonderfully. Also, my supervisor is wonderful. Yay.
