SCILS educational experience

My decision to attend SCILS was a result of what I call my "quarter life crisis." I graduated from college with a BA in Elementary Education in 2003. I bounced around with summer camp jobs, substituting, and finally ended up teaching preschool. I worked there for a little over a year, and quit just before Thanksgiving 2006, due to "irreconcilable differences" with the management. I became disenchanted with preschool, and didn't want to stay in the business. I started substituting again, and ended up subbing the libraries in my district. I loved it, and within two months, had taken the GRE and applied to SCILS. I'm enjoying school, but not really getting involved with my classmates or any kind of "extracurricular" activities, like clubs or anything.

Anyway, here's my history at SCILS:
Fall 07: 522 (Cataloging & Classification) and 547 (Materials for Children)
Spring 08: 550 (Info Tech) and 548 (Materials for YA)
Fall 08: 530 (Principles of Searching) and 598 (Social Software)
Spring 09: (hopefully) 540 (Ref. Sources & Services) and 555 (Multimedia Production)
What's left: 510 (Human Info Behavior), 514 (Learning Theory...), 575 (Ed Media Center Mgmt), and 592 (Field Experience)

Even though I'm technically an on-campus student, I spend most of my time between my desk and my car.
