Dear Diary,We had a fun class. Even though we have the dreaded after lunch time slot, we managed to keep the energy level up and the laughs continual. We ran through the interactive tutorial I found and my co-resident walked the class through the process to create their very first Blogs...AAAAWWWW
Also the students are all very bright and energetic. They are adjusting to the 8-5 workday better than I expected. Our student worker is sharp and has already proven that she is dedicated and a hard worker. In fact, we had to strongly discourage her from working on our collection development assignments from home. I admire the desire but there are strict laws governing compensation for hourly workers.
The mentoring is going great. I immediately connected with my mentee. She is fab!
During the web class they were trying to come up with names for their blogs...and I was amazed that no one took me up on my ideas which included:
"I am too sexy for myself"
"I am too hot to work in a library"
or the method you are supposed to use as your Porn Name; which is the street name that you grew up on and the name of your first pet. Ha!
I am new to this, "structured" mentoring thing so hopefully I'll come up with more appropriate options in the future. Oh well...
One of the students already created his blog and it looks very promising:

I am especially amazed because for the past 3 days I have been unable to add images to my blog, but he did it.
