My amazing weekend is definitely over – I spent several hours this morning crying on and off about all the cataloging nonsense I have to try to make some sense of, and I just don’t get it. It’s frustrating, disheartening, and terrifying that I could fail the whole course based on having severe difficulty with one project even though I’ve been pulling 90’s/100’s on all the quizzes, doing my homework and actively engaging in the online forums, and really focusing on the material, and all for a class that means absolutely nothing to me and has virtually nothing to do with my future career (assuming I ever even get a library job anyway and don’t spend the rest of my life as a secretary or waitress).
Anyway, to cheer myself up, I did start chipping away at my graded Dewey Decimal System assignment, and that’s not entirely unapproachable…merely confusing and contradictory at times, but maybe I’m just doing it wrong. I also put the finishing touches on both of my papers (the protoproposal and the literature review), tweaked a few things in my implementation plan for the 2.0 service project, and all my citations are done, and I did some mental packing for the trip to Greece (which is only 10 days away, ohmaigash). So it wasn’t a total loss of a day. I guess.
I am now looking forward to eating some lovely berries and cheese and heading home cause I get out early today (at 3, woohoo!) and body planting myself onto the boyf asap.

It will soon be over and you will use what you have learned. I felt the same way; cataloging is not an easy class. I use Destiny to catalog in my library but there is always something that I remember that helps me do the cataloging right! Good luck in your class.

Thank you for the kind words! I rather doubt that I will use anything from cataloging, but maybe I’ll be wrong. Frankly, I hope I’m not wrong because a life filled with MARC records and authority files sounds totally miserable to me, but who knows what the future will bring!
