I’m on my way to becoming a professional

Last week I submitted my paper “The Destruction of Archives as Cultural Genocide” to the Society of American Archivists student chapter conference at Indiana University called “Change and Continuity: A Conference for Students and Beginning Professionals on Archives, Rare Books, and Special Collections.” Today I found it was accepted! I’m very excited & very, very nervous.

Unfortunately this presents a small problem – the conference is on Saturday, March 6th & the week leading up to that I will be in DC for spring break. It’s a 10 hour drive from DC to Bloomington, so it wouldn’t be very feasible for me to rent a car & drive myself there. At the moment I think I’m going to take a flight Friday night out of Washington National, Joel will meet me in Indianapolis, we’ll drive to Bloomington, spend the night & I’ll present at the conference in the morning.

Oh the hassles of having so many great opportunities… :)

Now we’re headed to Grand Rapids for the show at Founders.
Here’s to a good weekend!

Getting settled in…

Welcome!! I’m glad you could make it, this is kind of exciting….

I bought my name & I’m going to try & make a website. Until I get the guts [& time] to try learning Drupal, I’ll be content with putting together a decent WordPress site. The more I can learn to do, the more skills I’ll have to offer an employer [or nonprofit] in the future!

Happy weekend!!
