First, I have to say that I wish MTSU's Spring Break coincided with Murfreesboro City School's Spring Break; however, you've got to love online courses. Today's musings are warm, sunny thoughts from Lake Carroll in Tampa, FL!
So, the Dewey Decimal System - a lot more complicated than I thought. I really only just started getting into it this past weekend. Just going by the book, it wasn't that bad. I actually like the Abridged book we are using. It's like a treasure hunt. You start in the Relative Index and you follow the clues from there - just like a treasure map. The Manual gives some explanations and points you in the right direction - just like your own personal pirate guide (personally, I'd prefer Captain Jack Sparrow). If you can't tell, I really am trying to find a way to get excited about this.
This geographic stuff is another issue. I've only looked through the presentation so far. I've go to spend some serious time next week becoming very well acquainted with it. I just feel like I'm going to get a headache when I think about it. But for now, it's difficult to get too worked up about it when it's sunny, in the 70s, and a lake is in your backyard! So, I'm off to the sun. Tomorrow it's Captiva Island for a few days (gotta love 2 week Spring Breaks). We even have wireless internet down there. So, if I get bored, haha, I can always log on and work on cataloging.
