What can I say? Starting a new job and moving to a new city hasn’t left much time for blogging. Things have settled a bit at this point, so hopefully I’ll be back here more regularly from this point forward.
Houston, as a city, has been good to us so far. Our apartment complex is very social, and we’ve gotten to know our neighbors as well as reconnecting with some friends from Atlanta that live here now. It’s HOT, no denying that, but we have a pool in our complex and we’re pretty much enjoying the heat.
I’m loving the job. Not too surprising, it’s the job I was looking for all along, but I’m pleased to report that it doesn’t disappoint. I’ve spent most of my time this summer working on our website redesign, and now that that’s wrapping up I’ve got a few exciting projects in the pipeline for the fall.
I’ve also got a lot of travel coming up in the next few months – to Waco this week for training from the Texas Digital Library, to Colorado to visit friends, LITA in Atlanta at the end of September, and (hopefully) Internet Librarian in Monterey in October.
What I’m really excited (and slightly terrified) about is tomorrow – first day of classes. 37,787 students. I’m not sure I can even imagine how things will be with that many more people on campus. But I’m looking forward to it!
