The fact that there are plumbers coming in and out of the house to fix one of the bathrooms - it's been taking a while, which is why there's a toilet on the porch - is almost enough to make me think I can justify taking myself out to lunch at a little sit-down place downtown before going to campus for some research and to draft an assignment.

I've already gotten crickets, so that's at least one discrete task out of the way.

In just over an hour, I'll be seeing one of the reference librarians who specializes in biological sciences. This should prove fruitful.

The long-term group assignment for my reference materials class involves myself and five other people finding 100 different items relating to a specific subject - in our case, marine biology of the Caribbean, but primarily marine biology in general. So I'm at the University's library, wandering the stacks and hoping to find a monograph relating to nudibranches or pinnipeds, until I see the librarian and ask her for help with government publications and dictionaries.

I didn't find as many items as I wanted in the three hours I spent at the library this afternoon, but that's all right: one of those hours was spent talking to a reference librarian who specializes in biological sciences who gave me the information to find more references tomorrow. Amazing what happens when you talk to people about things they're interested in. For example, the end of the assignment comes into sight instead of staying far off in the distance.

My plans for tomorrow are to get up early to do some virtual reference desk work, go to the gym, and then do more library-based research. And also eat lunch downtown, because even though there are leftovers, it's looking like it'll be a nice sunny day for eating outside. Tonight, I'm going to finish the current season of Being Human, drink a cider, and see about starting a fic.
