Well, it's my last week here at Lexington Library. In a couple of weeks, the library will be closing for the move. Starting next week I'll be working at Dayton's Bluff/Metro State to help upgrade their assistive technology, and then do a lot of what I've been doing here, outreach and training. I'll also be helping with other computer trainings and projects over the summer. It should be pretty fun. I got started there yesterday for a quick orientation and planning for my first few days. I then helped out in the homework center. It was their last day of normal hours, so they had a little party. It started out pretty slow, and we didn't know if anyone would come, but it was soon packed. We watched movies, played games, and hung out.

I've also been working on my grad school stuff again. Summer classes have started, so I'm working on the few projects we have to do for the class. I'm almost done with my online presentation. There's just a few more things I'd like to add and put together. Then it's just completing a few discussion questions for the readings which I finally got done last night. So far the class is interesting, and thankfully a lot less work than the previous two. There's still stuff to do, but not an epic project like last semester.

I haven't really had much time for anything fun. I did however trade in my Nintendo DS for the newer DS Lite model that came out last Sunday. It's really nice and I'm glad I did. The screens are so much brighter and clearer. It really is like going from the original GBA to the SP. The buttons are a little better too, although the face buttons seem a little too close together sometimes. The stylist is also much better, bigger and more comfortable. If you don't have a DS yet, go get a DS Lite. They're great! If you do own the original model, it's still worth looking into an upgrade.

After a long break, I've started over and gotten back into Oblivion. This game is just so awesome and deep. You can do whatever you want, play however you want, and create your character so it's completely different each time. I created a new orc character similar to my first one, but I did things a little differently based on how I want to play. So far things are going well. If you have a PC that will run it, this is really the only game you'll need for a long time. I can't recommend it enough.

I'm really looking forward to next weekend. I have a job interview, and then my friends from Crookston will be down here for the weekend. I'm sure we'll head out for a few drinks, maybe play some cards, and who knows what else.

Well, that's about all for this week. I just can't believe how fast the year is going by and that I'm pretty much done working at Lexington already.
