Gah!

Today has been a crazily busy day, but I like that. It also rained. I like that a lot. Rain is so refreshing, especially on a day where you've got to work really hard. It's nice to be inside working on a rainy day, and then it's extra extra nice to leave your work and go out into the fresh drizzle or downpour and let your worries wash away. :)
Yesterday was interesting-- it was my first day doing my new media report duty at the ORNL library. It was actually kind of fun! Everything went pretty smoothly until I realized that stories I was adding to the database were not being tagged as I would like. But my Media Report Mentor gave me a temporary fix and hopefully we'll figure out a long term solution. I also haven't gotten any feedback yet to let me know how close I was to being correct, but I look forward to the feedback so I'll know how to do better in the future. :) Have I mentioned that being a librarian is awesome? I got to answer some good reference questions today, and at my night job I got to chat with some stressed out students cramming for their final exams. Good times. Ooh, and that reminds me, I want to wish good luck to those taking comps tomorrow. Good luck!
I recently saw a very good movie. I wanted to write about it-- you've probably heard of it; it's called "Doubt" with Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. I actually caught the last 2/3 of it on TV, and then looked it up on Wikipedia and IMDB, and was so intrigued that I put it on my instant queue on Netflix and watched the first 2/3. I want to go rewatch the last 1/3 to make sure I covered all the bases. As a Catholic, it's a somewhat troubling film, because I don't want to believe that certain people are capable of behaving in certain ways, and yet we know that people are people. Just because someone says they are going to devote their life to helping people doesn't mean they won't hurt people. :( But what was interesting about the film was that I watched it under the assumption that the priest in the film was guilty. It wasn't until I read about the film (and play) that it occurred to me that he could be innocent. And now I feel guilty for assuming he was guilty! What's wrong with me? Anyhow the movie was really good. Can't say I'm a big Meryl Streep fan, but she was awesome in this. I urge you to check it out if you like slow dramas that make you think and feel.
Ok well that's enough for one night. Time to hit the hay. Behave out there, kiddos, and a final shout-out to Bethany Farmer, one of the world's coolest people.
