Let me tell you about my day

My morning:
-filled out and turned in cap & gown pics order form, paid for them
-printed out and had site supervisor sign agreement to intern form
-interned

My class, Information Literacy Instruction, is in Powell Library, which is probably one of the most gorgeous libraries I've ever been in. It's fantastic. I wish all my classes were held there. However, its layout is stupidly designed and so there is no straightforward way to get to the third floor. I have to go up the stairs to the second floor, turn down a few corridors and then take the elevator to the third floor, then go down a couple more corridors before reaching the classroom (one of those technology ones; everyone has a laptop). Anyway, this class seems pretty interesting. However, I (along with the rest of the class) had to create a Second Life account. Your 3D avatar interacts in a computer-generated 3D world... IDK, it's just so 2000s. So high school. I didn't do anything like that in high school, but it feels apt to say it's so high school. The teacher's going to host class on SL at some point, which is why. She loves it. :| :| :| I have no idea what I'm doing on there (how does one chat? I can barely move around) and don't really feel like downloading the SL Viewer software. Sigh. Really the only thing I like about it is that my avatar's a lavender and blue VW Bug.
I also had to get a Twitter account, which I am feeling much less blergh-y about. If I ever get around to using it in an normal manner I may link to it. I've toyed with the idea before but I probably wouldn't have gotten one without an outside reason. We're supposed to tweet questions or something.

The intermediate salsa class begins at 8 pm Tuesdays, so I catch the evening van after "only" 10 minutes of waiting and after finally getting dropped off hightail it to the Wooden Center in order to only be a few minutes late... and another class is using the ballroom. Run into classmates from last quarter's class (they are in this quarter's class too) and they look up the recreational schedule. Yes, the class starts next week! Lovely. I walk back home and finish my ramen.
