New Semester - First Summer

I am embarking on my first Summer C ever. I have avoided classes offered during this semester like the plague during my educational career. Yet, I find myself forced into this predicament by the fact that I do not want to post-pone my graduation. 

The classes I am taking are as follows:

• LIS 5937 Information Management Systems
• LIS 6711 Organization of Knowledge 1

My eyes will be scouring the following textbooks (freshly ordered from Amazon). No these are not listed in APA format. This is a blog for crying out loud!

• Cataloging and Classification: An Introduction (Chan, Lois Mai)
• The Organization of Information  (Taylor, Arlene G.)
• Fundamentals of Information Systems (Stair, Ralph)

New semester, I shall conquer thee.

Lit Style Mother's Day

Let the Rumpus Begin!

Where the Wild Things Are

So I have been mourning Maurice Sendak's passing since I heard of it. My lovely wife bought me these Where the Wild Things Are cuff links for my birthday. (She bought them before Sendak passed)

I decided to wear them this Mother's Day because WtWTA is my favorite work of Children's Literature. It was the book my mommy used to read to me at night. So here's to literacy! Here's to reading to your children! Here's to wild rumpuses! Here's to moms that make sure you get hot soup before bed!

Book Review of Fall to Grace

The Book

I just finished reading another religious book for my "summer week off" from classes. I salvaged this book from a Borders liquidation sale. Sad to see Borders go down, happy to grab a cheap book.

You will find the full review of Fall to Grace, authored by Jay Bakker at my religious blog: WeTalkofHolyThings.com

Link to the post is here.

hArsh with A cApitAl A

My last post was harsh. A little too harsh, actually. I ended up scoring 29 points out of a possible 30 on my research paper. That ticks me off because my prof. neglected to let me in on the error that cost me a perfect score.

So, despite what the title of this post may indicate, me writes good.

In light of my personal criticism, I think this comic is in order. At least it makes me feel better.
