Started as a flicker, meant to be a flame.
I have been compulsively checking the Rutgers University graduate application status page. I log in several times a day to see if they have made up their mind about my application. Everyday, I see the same message: “No Decision.” It’s been over 10 weeks since I’ve submitted my information to them but I have yet to hear back from them. The other two schools to which I applied have already responded (and I submitted my applications to those schools later than I did to Rutgers). Both St. John’s University and Queens College have accepted me into their Library Science programs. But, of course, the school to which I really want to be admitted is taking forever to notify me of its decision. This isn’t fair!
In other news, I’m a dumbass. I came in to work today with the sole purpose of working on a project for one of my CIS classes. (I’m writing a Facebook application. More details will come out once the project is nearing completion.) In fact, I brought in a couple of books related to the subject in addition to my laptop. However, I forgot one crucial piece of equipment: the AC power adapter for the laptop. I was in such a rush this morning to get out of the house that I completely forgot to grab the power cord. Well, at least I didn’t forget the laptop. That would’ve been much more embarrassing.
Since I can’t write in PHP on the computer that I am currently using at work, I think I’ll be heading home soon. (I’d rather work on my own machine. That and I don’t think I even have the administrative rights to install PHP on this computer.)
Have I mentioned how much I like working at the Brooklyn College Library? I can’t imagine working anywhere else while I’m working on my MLIS… and as soon as I complete my library school education. I enjoy coming to work! This is the first time in quite some time that I feel like I actually belong — in this workplace and in this field. As a programmer, I always felt like an impostor. As a librarian-to-be, I feel like I found my niche.
