Blog Posting #12: The Crackdown...

Wow; I cannot believe that this is the last blog entry of the semester. Time has seriously flown by this spring, and I am finding it incredibly hard to believe that this is my last semester of school. I have learned so much about technology from my classes in SLIS, and I really hope to learn more while on the job.

I start my internship in about a month, and will be working with the Genealogy Cataloger with the ACPL. I know that there will be a lot of new technologies that I will encounter in the field of technical services and cataloging in the future. I guess what I am the most apprehensive about is keeping up with the influx of technology. Right now it seems almost impossible, but I know that once I am dealing with it on a daily basis, it will be easy to keep up with the newest additions in the technological world.

So, my World of Warcraft free day trial ends tomorrow and I am strongly considering getting a subscription (you were right, ‘Drea). This weekend, my boyfriend and I were trying to play together, and somehow, when he tried to connect his laptop to the Internet connection, I was booted from World of Warcraft. Therefore, I could not get my Internet connection to work, which you need to play the game. I found myself getting kind of irritated with the fact that the game did not work. Wow, literally, should I get a subscription?


At any rate, I will be extremely busy with my internship and trying to work full time in about a month. I think that I am entitled to have my pointless fun right now. Of course, I am still trying to finish up my projects. For my other class, I have to try to integrate technology with my topic: women poets. I am still trying to figure out a way other than incorporating audio. Oh well, the ideas will start flowing soon.

Go for the subscription :) After all, the real fun starts as you getting into the upper levels. (For example, no mounts until lvl 40!) It really is a fun way to relieve stress! I'm itching to start mine back up again as well now that the semester is ending. Isn't it funny how games can take over our life?

I just read something on the web about how for some people video games (specifically those in which you kill something) are stress relieving. So I agree with Drea.

I haven't signed back up...yet. If I get all my projects done this weekend I'll do it next week. I know if I do it now I'll slack off! So I'm forcing myself to be good. What server do you guys play on?

I'm guessing that you went for the subscription. Will we ever hear from you again? Are you marching in May's graduation? See you then if you are.
