Lazy Sunday...and grad school aspirations

[eiblyn]

I stayed up til about 3am last night watching Dead Poets Society. I had never seen it before and I totally loved it. And I cried buckets. I woke up at roughly 11am (I need to go upstairs soon and meet SA for lunch) so I missed waffles at foodcircus. *sighs* Whatever. I cleaned my room yesterday and it looks fantabulous. I did all of my laundry and it's put away. I still need to read about 200 pages for this week and I better get on that. I need to take a shower.

Life's been pretty good right now. I realized last night what I think I really want to do with the rest of my life. I think I want to work on a project like FEDORA--not the RedHat kind. It just is amazing what's being done and it completely fascinates me. I had forgotten how much I like computers (and I distinctly don't suck at programming...) so I think I might try and get an internship with these people while I'm in grad school. I really just want to work on developing newer/better software for digital repositories/archives/libraries. At the moment, this is a beta idea though so who knows where it will go. It all depends on whether or not I continue being capable at what I'm already learning. *shrugs* Who knows... But I'm definitely thinking grad school in Michigan because all of the research done there by the faculty is in digital preservation.

Actually, it's paid through a grant. But I really want to work on something like that...not necessarily that. I think I've discussed with you before my real aspirations when it comes to digital records.
