Deutschland and Final

I received a comment on my previous post, Good and Bad News: "I know how excited you were for this trip- I am so sorry to hear. If there is a funding issue, would donations help to continue the trip? I know that one less head means one less discount. Please keep me posted!"

Yesterday, I followed up with Dr. Mika and gleaned the following, in which I will summarize:
It doesn't sound like fundraising will work because the money is needed immediately for arrangements; although, a large and immediate gift would likely make the trip happen. However, the probability of that occurring is slim.

In other news, yesterday, I traveled to Bad Axe (Huron County) and took my LIS 6210 final in the meeting room at Bad Axe Area District Library. (Thank you, BAADL, for your hospitality!)

Like the midterm, I am not certain how I performed as there were questions that I nailed and others in which I struggled. Because the exam was not in the Blackboard fashion, it will be hand-graded by Dr. Neavill which means I should know my grade in about a week and a half or so. I am certain that I lost my 4.0 this semester and to be honest, I am not all that upset about it. Why might you ask? I am learning loads and having a good time doing so.

While I am done with course work for the semester, I need to remain motivated and produce a proposal for independent-directed study by the middle of next week. However, I need to spend some time cleaning my "office" and organizing course content, from this term, into binders. iTunes + Indie Rock = Love
