05/31/2007: "Don't leave pickles in the refrigerator.. please."

Since there aren't any students at the English school on campus, I've just been doing various cleaning/administrative tasks over the past week. That'll all change next week when placement exams begin and, more importantly, classes start up once more.

However, I've learned more about how libraries are run, got to shift shelves and shelves of books, etc. Having to place items in particular places on shelves.. now that almost reminds me of Target! Kinda scary. Anyway, after that I went about cleaning the staff-room refrigerator. The best items there had to have been the mustard that expired in May 2006, and the tubs of mayonaisse that were sitting there (no date on those, but they were in styrofoam cups. Seeing as I've been there for 3 weeks and there weren't any sandwich parties that I was aware of, they had to be older than that). Remember, kids: take your food out of the refrigerator, or at least throw it out.

Otherwise, it's just been a semi-busy week. Nothing terribly eventful one way or another, but it has been interesting at least. Have a new project to start over the weekend for the English school on campus, going to make a quick interactive-media site so students can make and submit their own movies and other students can vote to see who made the best movie. At the end of the semester, they'll give out a prize or somesuch. Could be interesting, so I need to make the backend of it and some basic front-end stuff.

Just kinda waiting on someone, but I guess it's not going to happen. I'll get going now, probably write some more in the next few days... when I'm not busy working this weekend. Gah.
