Welcome to Day One


I arrived on Saturday, the 21st of July at San Jose State University's campus. The day, so far, had been eventful and I was ready to sleep. I was feeling very nervous as I looked around what I would later learn was only a small portion of the university. My living space for the next three weeks will be in the L-shaped CVA building at the southeast of the campus.

Truth be told, I am writing this on the following Tuesday morning because I realized that this course will require me to keep a running record of my thoughts and to do that I needed to choose a beginning.

Looking ahead, I can see that my pursuit of this MLIS degree can be seen as one of those choose-your-own-adventures that I remember reading as a child. I am starting on my reading journey with a concept of the adventure, but no idea of the specific plot twists before me.
Saturday night, I unpack my bags, straighten my room, check emails, review some course materials and tumble into bed. The only choice I make... to sleep.
