I’ve turned in all of my assignments from home. Well, all but one, that is. The internship project actually requires me to be physically in the archives to complete. Since I’m not supposed to have contact with people until Saturday, I haven’t been able to get to the archives to finish up.
Being quarantined for a few days has actually been quite nice. I mean, besides the coughing. That part rather sucks, but I’ve been resting and doing homework and what not. I been in my pajamas all week, too. I get up, change out of my pajamas, shower, then put on different pajamas. It’s great!

For my internship, all I have to do is type my notes, do a little rearranging, make a task list for Saturday, and put together the prose of the finding aid. I can totally do all that in two days. Oh, and I still have Sunday to edit and smooth out the kinks. I’ll be emailing the assignment to my professor Sunday night. Grades aren’t due until 9:00 Monday morning, so I don’t even have to take an “Incomplete” for that class. Yay!

Our school has been particularly “buggy” this semester. There’s some sort of gastro-intestinal thing going ’round, too. I think I’d rather have whooping cough. Still, who gets whooping cough? I’ve been accused of making out with the 15th Century. You know us librarians, always making out with the 15th Century.

I’ve had to cancel most of my birthday fun, but I’ll be un-contagious by my actual birthday-day (which is Tuesday), so I can still have fun then. I’ll be going to Salem for the afternoon, which should be great! Then it’s off to Maryland for a week to spend Christmas with my family. I haven’t seen most of them in ages, so that will be really nice.

I’ll have to reschedule my birthday festivities for January. I wouldn’t want to miss out on bowling and boozing completely!
