Whew

'Tis the season for wrap-ups of the year. Right now, my life is pretty calm, but it's been a pretty eventful year!

In January, I began the last semester of my Master's program at OU.

In February, I was snowed in for several days, finished my thesis proposal, and my computer died a bitter death.

In March, I bought a new computer and defended my thesis proposal.

In April, I coded 417 articles for my thesis, then spent countless hours interpreting data and writing it up.

In May, I defended my thesis and graduated.

In June , I completely crashed for a while, then floated the Illinois River with friends from church.

In July, I went to Dallas to be in Ronni's wedding and continued trying to recover mentally from 19 years of school.

In August, I helped with VBS at Norman Community Church of the Nazarene and co-hosted a wedding shower and a baby shower in two consecutive weekends.

In September, I moved home to Prague and interviewed for, was offered, and accepted position as circulation clerk and shelver supervisor at new Southwest Oklahoma City Public Library.

In October, I began my new job and immediately began shelver interviews

In November, I trained five new shelvers and visited New Orleans for NCA and some time with Erin; officially became a member of NCCN.

In December, I trained one more shelver and moved into new apartment in OKC

So yeah, it's been a pretty busy year, with some very big changes and some very big ups and downs. In all, though, it's been a very good year. Now, to see what 2012 brings!
