Millage, Wheat, and Grades

First off, I have been delayed in blogging this; however, I would like to send my congratulations to both Troy Public Library and Benzie Shores District Library. The millage for both libraries past earlier this week! Cathy Russ, the director of TPL, posted a note on the library's website: A New Chapter for Troy Library -- please take a moment to give it a read.

The 2011 wheat harvest is officially over. Due to the cold and wet spring, our yield was lower than anticipated; however, every little bit helps and, as usual, being a former suburbanite, I thoroughly enjoyed the agriculture adventure. I am quite curious to see how the soybeans end up yielding later this fall. Farming subsidizes extra expenses incurred while in library school: books, travel, field trips.

This past winter term, I noted that the B+ in cataloging (LIS 6210) broke my 4.0 GPA. Final grades for spring/summer 2011 term and I received a 4.0 in collection development (LIS 7340). My cumulative GPA is now a 3.88. Graduating with a MLIS + graduate certificate with a GPA of 3.9-something will just have to suffice, my friends.
