Welcome to Litsy!

Clearly this is not about me #publicpolicy #politicalscience #introductiontopoliticalscience #iu #gradschool #books #mtv #theoxfordhandbookofpoliticalscience #reading #homework #robertegoodin

Going to take a break this summer. I know it means I‘ll have to double up on work in the fall, but I feel like if I don‘t do it this way, I‘ll just quit altogether.

So, lots of reading, lots of writing, lots of planting, lots of crochet and cross-stitch. And, maybe, I‘ll finally decide on a sewing machine and finally learn how to make Kirby pjs for my son who has outgrown children‘s clothing.

Not much going on except finals this weekend. I finished my exam this morning. I‘m slogging through my project the next two days. This is one of those classes where I‘ll be glad with an A- (which in my program is 96%).

Spending this rainy Saturday morning at the coffee shop working on my project that is due tomorrow.

Book rec: The Disordered Cosmos. Read this a few years ago. A great book about being a minority in STEM fields.

These are the books (and tchotchkes) that were in front of my books on my bookshelf.

My goodness I have a lot of books to read to “fit” in my bookshelves.

They‘re not even a small bookshelves!!

This got me. Multi-genre, images, graphs, fictionalized imaginings and quotes from 100+ year-old articles. Personal history is also the history of a people.

When you work on Pooh, grad school is less scary & even less boring

It‘s already been almost a week since my new adventure started! 😍 On my way to fully becoming Megan the Librarian, complete with that MLIS after my name! ✌🏻 #gradschool #mastersdegree #libraryscience #lsuonline #louisianastateuniversity

Grad school reading on tap for today!

Thank you Aletheia- I love your card and the stickers so much! I will have the tea tonight.
Does anyone have a magic answer on how to return to normal? I‘m still spending most of my day laying down. How do people work and clean their house? There has to be a magic solution somewhere!
