i should be in chicago right now at the ala convention but OF COURSE i didn't have enough money to fly my ass over there, stay in a hotel, pay for meals for 6 days. i felt pretty crappy about not being able to go since so many of my "peers" were going. i want to be apart of something too even though i'd still be the white m&m in a handful of blue

for what it's worth, i couldn't go either. where the eff do these students get the $$$ to go to ALA, anyway? they certainly don't work...
too bad you're not into archives--you could totally come to Louisiana with me in August for SAA.

oh man, if my faculty advisor didn't convince me to specialize in children's services i was going to go with archives. DAMN YOU SALAZAR!

anyway, i WISH i had the money, i'd totally go to louisiana for SAA even though i know nothing about archival studies hehehe. i just want to go to a damn conference already!

isn't M. presenting a paper there?

i think she is...but i probably won't go to see, as there other things i want to do. i am going to the UCLA panel session, so i'm sure we'll see each other there. she told me, "i look forward to hanging out together at SAA"---i have no clue what she meant by that, as i have no intention of "hanging out" with her.

dude, you'd probably fall asleep because she's not that great of a speaker. ok, that was mean. i don't know though, her speech at graduation was like listening to dead water.

i've always thought she was nice. i guess because she made an effort to always say hi to me and it wasn't just "hi," she also said my name too. sometimes i think i'm this big lame-ass dork all giddy just because someone talked to me at school. it's not like i've ever had a conversation with her. in that aspect she seemed too cool for school. like she would only really talk to her "peoples." and i hated how she would save an entire row in class for her minions. ARGH!!!!! ok, she sucks, nevermind.

if i EVER get paid for my spring qtr fill internship and i have money left over i'm going to seriously consider SAA.

Sorry we couldn't make it out to Chicago and that i'm not one of your library friends so I could go hang at ALA with you. Maybe next time you can go and i'll be around to hang afterwards =)

dude, don't be sorry! it wasn't meant to be and i probably would have had a craptastic time anyway.
