Today was a busy day — took Gus to school plus some internship time plus my first class of the semester — so I’m starting the week off behind on the newspaper already. Sigh.<\/p>\n
Thus, in belated news, I’ve decided that there are just not enough Democratic presidential candidates, so I’d like to announce that I am entering the race! And also, Colorado is STILL HOGGING ALL THE SNOW.<\/p>\n
Ahem.<\/p>\n
So today I realized that I just need to accept the fact that while school is in session I will not have the time to read everything I want to read. Here’s my list of reading goals:<\/p>\n
1. class reading
\n2. the paper
\n3. New Yorker and Entertainment Weekly (the latter is easy, takes about 20 minutes\/week)
\n4. misc. library journals (hard copy, like the College & Research Libraries journals, LJ, etc.)
\n5. library news online\/blogs
\n6. something fiction (except that the damn Calamity Physics book is STILL not in for me at the library!)
\n7. something nonfiction (still working on A Little History of the World)
\n8. something good for me (Strunk & White, How to Talk So Kids Will Listen, etc.) (also sometimes 7 and 8 are the same book)<\/p>\n
1-3 I can do. 4 is where things start to get more iffy: maybe I will carry an issue of American Libraries around in my bag for a few weeks ’til it’s good + wrinkly before I get a chance to read it.<\/p>\n
5, oh 5, I have been trying with 5, but have I mentioned that librarians write A LOT? Realistically I am keeping up with the Library Link of the Day, because it comes right to my inbox every morning. And then once every couple of weeks I have a binge of a few hours or so.<\/p>\n
6-8 are but a dream right now. But I’ve been thinking that I need to carve out some time for them, esp. 6. Gus could use a new chapter book, too (we had to reject The Wind in the Willows for now because the language is too archaic), so maybe I will drag him to the library someday after school this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
