Today was a nice day. It felt a lot less early than yesterday! Orientation was more of a half-day followed by a BBQ, a tour and an introduction to Thompson House, the PGSS (or GSA for some of you).
So today's lesson is as light as the day was.
Lesson 3) MLIS students love Harry Potter and Doctor Who... I'm home!

Day 1: I'm a Master(s Student) Now?
Wow, it's really real, isn't it! I am actually attending the prestigious school I've wanted to attend since I was 12, and if I survive, I'll come out with a Masters! A bonafide MLIS! I am on my way to be a MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE... er... Master of Library and Information Studies that is. What's the difference really? The Universe is essentially made of data. On a quantum level, everything is just bits, switched on or off. But I digress; you came for the lessons!
Since today was my very first day of (very early) orientation (preceded by an even earlier job interview), I'll leave you with two lessons.
Lesson 1) it doesn't feel real until you're deathly I'll the night before and are at risk of missing your first day. Alternatively, when you're sitting awkwardly surrounded by strangers in a lecture hall considering how soon you'll be friends with them, and terrified that won't actually happen.
Lesson 2) I can do film related work in any of the three MLIS streams: librarianship, archival studies or knowledge management.
