We got our Systems Librarian Interview papers back last Saturday, and we (my research partner and I) got an A-. Psych! I also did my "Word" of the Day (digital vs. analog) presentation, and it went pretty well. Even though it was shorter than the paper presentation (5 minutes as opposed to 15), I was more nervous because I felt less comfortable with my subject material. Also, for the Systems Librarian Interview presentation, I knew my research partner was really nervous, and I felt I had to be strong for her. Sometimes, in situations like that, one can just rise to the occasion and do a good job. In fact, I did a great job, and she ended up doing great too.I am woefully, though not hopelessly behind on the reading, and I plan to have read-a-thon and study-thon week starting tomorrow in preparation for the exam next week. I know I've said (or thought) I need to get focused on studying for a while now, but I still have yet to do it. So I hereby commit, in front of all blogland, that I'm going to study my ass off this coming week and do a great job on the exam.********************I didn't work out once during my four day mini-vac, but I went back to the gym on Wednesday and put in 20 minutes of intervals on the treadmill. Work is really busy and on Thursday I let things get away from me and skipped working out. Yesterday, I went back and did weights for the first time in 11 days. I did: squats holding a weighted ball between my knees and a body bar in my hands, hip extensions with my feet on a ball, wall squats, one arm bent-over rows leaning on a ball, seated rows with a resistance band, speed chops, bradford presses, shoulder press 21s, angled biceps curls, triceps wall push-ups, chest presses with a body bar and a resistance band, dead bugs, oblique crunches on a ball, regular crunches on a ball, cat and dog stretches and swimmers.********************Now I'm going to get ready to go to school. I need to do something about my iPod / car situation. My Roadtrip has never worked very well - poor volume and too much static - and now I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. This is frustrating because I like catch up on podcasts when I drive. Maybe I'll be able to get it to work today, but I need to find an alternative. At least on the way to school I can usually catch Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, which is good fun.********************And I couldn't sign off without saying this: GO RED SOX!!!Labels: listening, physical fitness, school posted by Miss Rachel 10/27/2007 10:40:00 AM . . .
