Happy New Year!

It may be because I am a procrastinator from way back, but I never seem to set New Years' resolutions at the beginning of the new year...why not wait until inspiration hits you? Why not July? I find (and you may think the same when you see my list of Currently Reading...there, on the right panel of this page) that I have been reading books that are changing my perspective on how I live, eat and think...

This always happens, though. I get tired of living a worn, sad, crusty existence and I want to make some changes. Nothing big, just little things like, taking the stairs instead of the elevator or choosing a salad instead of a double cheeseburger for lunch. I commit to the changes for a few weeks (if I am diligent!) and that's that. My crusty life takes over once again...hmmm, maybe I should be reading books on follow-through and anti-procrastination...

Ah well, I'll get to it eventually ;-)

Possessive about Supplies

I am not sure when it happened, probably when I started at GTC, but I have become quite possessive of office supplies. I mean, how can you be a student at a college and not have any supplies with you? I don't mean a calculator or a stapler, I mean pencils, pens, paper!?! Aren't these essentials for any student? Seriously, I had a student come in and ask if he could borrow a pen...reluctantly I said "Fine, whatever"...then he comes back up to the desk to ask for a sheet of paper...that's when a piece of me died inside.

You can indeed teach an old dog new tricks...

I am no longer running into the daunting wall of Web 2.0, I am working to bring it down! Although I am only 30 and I work in information literacy, I am still well behind my counterparts in all that technology, specifically the Internet, has to offer. Now, I am taking the chance and actually learning new things...and I love it! Stay tuned...

It's funcational!!

My baby said that tonight.
