8.30.05

School's back in session. My first class of the semester is tonight. Tonight's class is Government Documents. Sounds really dry, I know, but I should learn a lot. My other class is Readers Advisory. I am really excited about this class because it should be loads of fun. I have already finished a few of the books on my reading list.

I have finished:
Nighttime Is My Time by Mary Higgins Clark
Prey by Michael Crichton
The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
Black Rose by Nora Roberts

Currently reading:
Folly and Glory by Larry McMurtry

Not exactly the titles I would choose, but that's the point of this class. Because I will be an Adult/Young Adult Librarian in a large urban public library system as of January, I need to become familiar with most of the popular authors in different genres.

Yes, that's right. There is a beach(with sand) in Long Island City, Queens right on the East River. Really.

Don't worry--no swimming allowed. I am not sure anyone would jump in even if it were allowed.

It was interesting. Watching people play volleyball and sunbathe with the Manhattan skyline as the backdrop was strange. We had a good time. The food and beer was okay and the DJ's selections were not exactly my taste, but hey, it's something different.

Makes me a little homesick. Just a little.

I know, I know, it has been a while. Sorry.

Just wanted to mention that a friend of mine from OU was on Jeopardy in July. I missed the show, but found her show pic on the web.

More later.
