I love the part of the time change where it stays light outside later. I think it should stay this way all year. I feel so much more industrious when there's sun at 6 o'clock...it feels like I still have plenty of time left. I am baking millet bread right now, and figuring out what to do with my evening.

I am massaged, now, btw. I feel so much better. I am not waiting 7 months between massages again if I can help it!

Oh, I am registered for classes for the fall (and the summer, whoo hoo). I am taking the dreaded Cataloguing this summer, which is a 5 week course (I think). Ooooh boy. And in the fall, I am taking...LSC 520 (School Library Media Services!), 528 (Media in the library, or something like that...I'm not positive what that entails) and 515 (Information Ethics). I have to make a program of study change in order to do 515, because the random elective I picked before was History of Libraries and Librarianship -but that one is only offered in Providence in the fall and it's just not worth the hassle of getting there for it. And yes, Information Ethics is using my one and only elective in the whole program, because the fall is my last semester of normal classes (in the spring of next year, I have my practicum, where I get to be a school-librarian-in-training, basically. Half of the semester I will be at a high school, and half at an elementary school.)

Oops - now my millet bread is done. I'm going to go investigate and see how it turned out.

One thing that I'll never forget about the time I spent in Norway was how it stayed daylight up until 11pm or so during the summer. I didn't know until then how much I relied on the sun to tell me what time it was, because I was frequently surprised when glancing at the clock and seeing how late it actually was.

Sun at 6pm or 7pm is great. Sun at 11pm is disorienting.

hey again

does this mean that you have gotton your migranes under control

i actually heard that one of those people-in-politics is trying to get a bill passed to extend daylight savings time since it would be massively effective in conserving massive amounts of energy. of many more details i am not aware but i thought that sounded super cool.:)

[mangofandango.livejournal.com]

I heard that too! DST is pointless now really, and I think we ought to just get rid of it entirely. From what I understand, the proposed extension won't really save that much energy - CNN.com says a two-month extension of DST would save the equivalent of about 10,000 barrels of oil, and we use 20 million barrels of oil a *day*.

But, I would definitely be happy about an extension of it. It only makes sense, it will save a little energy, and I get my late-in-the-day sun! Yay! :)

[waterbaby83.livejournal.com]

huh? you want to get rid of it or extend it? that was confusing.:) also, any oil saved is good i would think! lots of little changes could eventually add up to big changes

[mangofandango.livejournal.com]

Oops, sorry, that was confusing. :) I mean I think we should eliminate time changes altogether, and keep daylight savings time as our standard time. There's no good reason to change back and forth, and it's just better this way. But if they extend DST, that is a start and I'll take it. You're right that any energy saved is good, and I like my sunlight!

That makes sense, right? :)

haha yes much more logical and such.:)

Cataloging is actually not that bad. Do you have Lynden or Yan Ma? :-)

[mangofandango.livejournal.com]

I have Yan Ma. Is this a good thing? :)

[bohemelibrarian.livejournal.com]

I hear she's good. Lynden was great too. I got an A in her class. ;-)
