As I was walking over to the IS building Friday morning for our first Fast Track weekend, I felt a little like a high schooler on the first day of classes or a new freshman on campus for the first time. I was excited, nervous...and anxious to get the exam over with so I could relax my brain for a bit before tackling the rest of the school work due this week.
I've been "talking" to most of these people and reading their blogs for two months now, but it was so nice to put faces to the names. And what a diverse group! I think having such different backgrounds, careers, and lives is what really helps us as classmates to have the kind of discussions that we do.
By Saturday afternoon, it seemed like everyone had a weight lifted off their shoulders. It was so helpful to finally have an orientation of sorts into the program, the LIS library (which I honestly did not know existed so extensively as it does), the potential career paths, the possible program tracks, and be able to realize that these names that I see on the screen are people just like me, just as busy, just as stressed, but they're getting though it so I can too. Yes this is scary, but I'm now looking forward to the next two years very much.
