As usual, I rarely think about what day of the month it is until I write this blog or my journal. So the fact that April was half over did not occur to me until a few minutes ago--yes, the time is moving very quickly for me.
I guess that is partly because I am so busy. At the Library today I did finish up my Level 3 training. I have three hours of Skill Development time next week, so I thought I would do the remaining work then, but I am very glad I did it today. I was scheduled as a Helper all morning--and was not asked to help anyone except with something I knew nothing about, and I was able to identify the person who might actually be able to help the guest.
The reason I was glad I went ahead with Level 3 today is that the other Trainer at the Library was able to check my work [she said she found 2 errors, which I will check out on Monday], but when I asked her if she understood something that was being asked, she told me that she has not done Level 3 either, and that the question really was confusing! Anyway, between us we came up with an answer. So now during my Skill Development time next week I will probably devote to microfilm research, which involves deciphering German script and is the most important skill to me. I use it every week when I index German records, and I use it in my own research for my family.
When I got back to the apartment I went right to work on sorting and packing. I thought maybe I could get enough done to pack up and just live out of a suitcase for the next 11 days, but I was not able to progress that far. I did get the floor cleared off enough to vacuum--I had not done that for a while, so the canister was definitely over-full. I am very grateful that I got that notice about the people coming to inspect the blinds and walls and carpets--because I have gotten a lot done, and I am quite exhausted. That is not bad, because I have the time before I leave to get rested up. I would not want to feel this tired the day I was starting to drive back to Missouri!
Tonight I had a very good talk with my Sweetheart. We are both eager for the time to pass quickly until we can be back together.
