The comprehensive exam is in 60 days.
The end of the semester is in 110 days.
Graduation is sometime around the end of the semester.
I need to get a move on and start studying. The days will dwindle quickly.

The Last of the First
Tomorrow is my last first day of school. Or last first day of classes. If I go by first days of school categorized by a full year of school, I've had 19 first days. If I count individual semesters in college in addition to years of elementary, middle, and high school, I've had 13 years of primary education coupled with 13 semesters of secondary education, for a total of 26 first days.
Should I have a count of the number of first days I've had? Probably not.
Four years ago, I was starting my last semester of undergrad. Most students would have thought they would be experiencing their last first day of school after an undergrad degree. But I knew then I would get an advanced degree of some kind.
But I don't think I'll go back to school again. I don't think I will get a more advanced degree than this. So, this is it.
And it's weird.

January 12 of 12
It's been years since I've participated in a 12 of 12, but I felt nostalgic today and I remembered my camera. However, the day wasn't terribly eventful.
If you don't know what a 12 of 12 is, I suggest you visit Chad Darnell's blog. He started this concept of taking 12 pictures to document the day on the 12th day of the month. 12 of 12!
So, January's 12 of 12:
I'd been up for about thirty minutes prior to taking this photo, but this was when I realized that if I didn't get a move on, I would be late for work!
When I got in my car and saw the temperature, I knew why I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. Brr!!
I work as a Children's/Youth Services Librarian for a library system. I do story times, school visits, and teen activities each day at a different library in the county during the week. Today, I was at the library where my office is, so only my blue GO bag was required. This week's story time theme is snow and snowmen, which worked nicely with the snow we got on Sunday and Monday.
Wednesdays at 9am finds me at one of the local head starts for a 20-25 minute story time. Just grabbing my name badge before getting out of my car.
Lunch! I used to despise Wendy's (square burgers are an abomination!), but I'm beginning to come around.
The library where my office is located was open for the last time today, thus the nostalgic feeling. We're moving to a wonderful new building over the next few weeks. However, as I'm only at this library on Wednesday, I had to pack today. I share this office with the library branch director and this is only one side of it. There's still one big box or two that is packed up that you can't see.
After work, I drove to my sister's house so that I could reunite her with her car, which she left at her in-law's house during the Sunday snow. I think I need a new car and have been paying close attention to the cars I see the highway.
I got to play with and read to my niece while at my sister's. A rare moment to find Ari silent and still.
Stopped at Walgreens after dropping my sister off at her car.
Home sweet home!
I logged into one of the online classes I'm taking this semester. Technically, classes don't start until next week, but this professor opened the class early and posted an assignment. And because I can't control myself, I completed the assignment when I should have been enjoying my semester break. Oh, well! Last semester, hopefully. Should graduate with an MLIS in May.
It's Wednesday. And Wednesdays always end with Vlogbrothers, John and Hank. Mondays and Fridays also end with John and Hank.
And that's my 12 of 12!
