Cherry Blossoms, Snowflakes and Information People, Oh My!


Last Friday I attended an admitted students day at the Information School. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and big, soft snowflakes danced in the sky.

I fell in love with the building, the like-minded community of thinkers and recyclers, and with finding my people. You know the kind, the ones who provide information you didn't even think you needed, but made getting what you wanted easier and maybe even fun.

One of the highlights was a mock class with Dr. Joseph Janes, whose enthusiasm for information, his work and the school was contagious. I walked out of that classroom feeling exuberant, thrilled and grateful that my days will be full of such activities. Goodbye desk, and everyday the same. Hello, hard, good work and lots of change.

Let's take a look at fall quarter:

I'm over the rainbow!
