Last Day

Today was the last day here at the Health SCience Library. It was very sad since I couldn't work here anymore. It has been a wonderful experience getting to know all the staffs. We got to show everyone our video and eat really good pizza. I will miss Mrs. Moser since she was a wonderful boss. She told us her history and her mom's history. It was so interesting learning about her life. Her story seem like it could come from a novel. I almost cried when she talked about her mom. I think this experience has open up my eyes to the things librarian do and all the different things that is done at a graduate library. I hope I can come back and visit soon. I will also miss working with Somayah. She was a awesome partner and it was great working with her. Though I know we will still hang out after this. Overall I love this internship and was really glad I did it.

Day 9

Toady we finished our video. All we have left to do is convert it and upload it to you tube. I can't believe that it's already close to end. I wish I could work here all the time. Tomorrow we will have a party and watch our video. I hope the staff likes it because we worked hard on it. Hopefully it will look nice since the music kind of doesn't match the video. I wanted to put The Entertainer in as the music, but it cost money so I had to use this really romantic sounding music that didn't even match the video. But today the biggest thing that caught my attention wasn't necessarily work but this article about a shooting in Norway. A madman went to a youth camp and started killing many people. This made me very sad because I don't understand why people do the things like that. I also image myself in that situation and calling my mom. What would I feel. I feel like the girl was very brave to call her mom. I most likely would have panic like crazy and freak out. I hate reading stories like this. Hopefully things like this wont happen more since life is precious and no one has the right to take away our right to live.

Day 8

Somayah and I worked together today on our video project. It's looking good so far. All we need is to add music, talk more about the sources and add the atomic structures in. I wanted to put in this music from the 1920s, but I couldn't remember the name of the piece. It's a really famous piece but I dont remember what it's called. I can humm it but I dont remember the name. But I look for it tonight and hopefully find it. I thinkwe will be done with our video soon and even have time left over. It's been a good day. I brought in luch since I didn't eat breakfast. Tomorrow Somayah and I will eat while we are working. I think we will also take a lot of picture since our internship is close to done. Only about 2 day left before it's over. I'm glad Somayah was my parnter because we made a good tram!

Day 7

Wow today was a stressful day. Our interview got canceled so we worked on the video the whole day. Today we learned how to uses all the different tools to make our video. Many time the files didn't download to the dvd player. We were geting very irrated by it. And at first there was no volume on our videos. Afterward Mrs. Moser helped us figure it it out. Although it was stressful today I had a lot of fun working with the new technology. It was really fun to learn how to photoshop the pictures and edit the video. But it also made me realize that I am not a technology person since I can't figure out all the problems and had to ask for help mant time. I think I am going to go home tonight and work on it a little more so I dont have to stress over it later. Somayah was also a great help today. She knew a lot more than I did about technology. I'm glad to have her as my partner. Hopefully things will turn out okay. I can't belive that it tuesday already of the second week. The time is going by so quickly. Can't wait to show everyone the video!

Day 6

Today was very tiring. We worked on our video all today. We had to ask many of the students question about the library. Though many of them didn't want to be in our video. After a while I didn't even want to ask anymore. I know everyone busy and shy so I don't blame them, but its just really stressful when you dont get a positive response. But afterward we waited for about an hour and asked new students. This time many more people agree to be in our video. It made us very happy and relieved since we finally got our 5 students interview done. Hopefully we will finish our video on time. I really love this internship, but I'm just really tired right now so I seem a little negative. I think we have a lot of time to work on our video so I'm not to worried. I just want it to turn out good and creative. I can't believe this is my second week here already. Time just seem to fly by. I think friday will come pretty soon and I will be really sad and miss it here espcially working woth Somayah since she's an awesome partner.

Day 5

Today was really fun. We went to Pascal and look at all the books. The rooms were very cold even though it was very hot outside. We got to ride the order picker all the way up. Even though I really afraid of height, I didn't want to miss out on the ride. I think going down was the most fun since we went super fast. We also learned how a book is scanned for the students here and how each students can get it free since they pay for it in their tutition. Also Somayah and me make a box to put the books in. It washard at first, but we got the hang of it afterwards. We also put in new books for the students to use. It was a lot of fun. I'm enjoying a lot so far.

Day 4

Today we had a tour of the library with Mike. He talked about what he thought of the library. He had a lot of good ideas. He talked about how if he had enough money he would put in more study space for the students. He also wanted to remove some of the unnecessay things that are here in the library and use those spaces to make a study room for the students. But he said that it's what the users want. We always need to ask the users what they like to change. He said that we need more types of online sources since now this generation of students are using more electronics resources. Students dont want to carry heavy books to class so they can come to the references desk and borrow it instead. I love all his ideas and hope it will eventually carry out.
