Cold Northern California Weather

It is hard to be in spring mode (having moved all my summer clothes out of storage boxes, to the laundry, and hanging in my closet) to switch back to winter clothing. However, it is COLD here in Alameda and San Francisco. Brrr. I love it, really, just need to practice the layering technique that is a particularly California look. I make it through the winter with my linens, but spring hits, and suddenly I'm shivering and looking for my sweaters.

Film Festival starts in a few weeks, and I'll be taking off about 6 days spread through 2 weeks. I'm sure it will seem like more than enough considering that our Summer Associates come on the heels of that. I've got to get my butt in gear - plan the program I'll be instituting new this year, of having them work through a real research project, hopefully will real learning applications. I talk things to death, think things to death, and dither around procrastinating, I guess I just love doing everything at the last minute - though I actually hate it, so at this late date I'm still trying to change. I've written out half of the first hour or so in a minute by minute plan - and that seems to be effective, so I'll probably continue that. Hardest part will be finding enough research projects to make this work.

Other than that, I've been reading a lot this week, watching a little TV, taking care of my health, and trying to get enough sleep.

Tomorrow is our National Library Week party at work - my colleague worked hard on posters of attorneys and now we are having a party to celebrate. We are giving away an Ipod shuffle, Staceys gift cards and lots of small gifts. However, we have only had 4 people turn in their quizzes. It will still be fun regardless.

Okay, enough non-news. bye for now.
