I am thisclose to passing my e-portfolio, and officially becoming a Mistress of Library Science. Thisclose! I have three competencies remaining – one awaiting my advisor’s review, one in progress, and one that I’m clueless about but will get done by Friday regardless. Then I have to write a bunch of statements and conclusions and the like – statement of personal philosophy, statement of strengths, reflection on my MLIS program, and so forth. Tedious, but doable. I’ve got two deadlines looming, the 15th for items to be reviewed and the 20th for items to be approved, and then – done.
So, I might be a bit MIA until then. At which point, if all goes well* I plan to return with a story about this cute 1920s Craftsman bungalow in the hills of the Garvanza district of Highland Park.
*In other words, if writing a Statement of Personal Philosophy doesn’t (a) drive me to drink or (b) land me in the looney bin…

Good luck! And I would suggest that drinking might be just the thing you need in order to write a Statement of Personal Philosophy.

I second Anne on that one. A nice bottle of red wine would definitely facilitate something like a statement of personal philosophy and reflections upon one’s graduate program (can that ever be less than painful? I guess some people do actually LIKE their graduate program.). So open up a bottle and bang it out, Mistress of the MLS!

Hey! My friend who lives out there lives in Garvanza…I always thought it was considered Pasadena…
Good luck on being *thisclose*
