DONE. Where's the fork!?

Call me Steak because I am so done with my masters degree! Received my final grades on Tuesday -- two As :) For anyone who cares, my GPA was 3.93. Pretty proud of that considering all that I've had going on while also pursuing a masters degree.

I was going to attend the commencement/hooding ceremony this past weekend, but waited too late to book a hotel room. All of the hotels around Knoxville were booked solid. Since I didn't have strong feelings about attending, I decided to forego that pomp and circumstance. Honestly, dodged a big ol' stress bullet by not attending anyway.

As it stands now, I am an official graduate. I can call myself a librarian, if I want. I'm not sure other people would call me a librarian (there seems to be some snarkiness and prejudice against those who don't work in a traditional brick-and-mortar library and that's a shame). I call myself a librarian, though! Just because I don't have the Dewey system memorized or have to deal with porn watchers doesn't mean I don't manage information! And isn't that what it's all about? Managing information and access to such?

Here's how I spent my "graduation day":

Snugglin my son at celebratory Buffalo Wild Wings dinner :3 (If it's difficult to read, my shirt in that photo says "library schooled" haha)

What's next on my professional horizon? Working through my catalog plan, developing some social media content policies, and finalizing (I hope!) a few projects this year. It's a brave new world for this solo embedded librarian!
