Chanitra, HOHO~~~

I am so glad that I have Chanitra :)
Yesterday, Chanitra helped me find the course descriptions of some PHIL and EALC classes which I desperately needed for my transfer courses and struggled a lot to search for. Thank you sooooooooooo much!!! And then she showed me some really cool puzzle animations on the Indiana University Digital Library Program web page: http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/slocum/ which might be helpful for some presentations when you need puzzle clips.
I had a really busy week, you can tell from my schedule--
Monday 12:30-12:55 UCSO lunchroom round table prep
Tuesday 10:00 Office hour about transfer classes
Wednesday 5:30-7:30 UCSO Spring Internship Accounting Networking
7:45-9:00 Beta Alpha Psi call-out meeting
(Btw, the Beta Alpha Psi National Accounting Society seems very cool and helpful for accounting major students.)
Besides, I have 7 classes and X201 peer tutor. So, busy week! But I really enjoyed the "rush" and I believe that it is what I want before I graduate next year.

PS: After a long week, I am going skiing this Saturday HOHO! Looking forward to it :)

Books for GMAT prep

A raining day, I met Chanitra in the main library for this week's meeting. First of all, we went to the reserved book section located on the ground floor of the main library near the cafe, in order to find the textbook my professor reserved for my G202 class. Unfortunately, we couldn't find it because it was under reserved of the Business/SPEA Library and now it's closed. Hope next time I may be able to get it.

Then Chanitra helped me look for the persons to contact of every department that I am trying to talk to about my transfer classes, which I REALLY appreciate because it is kinda urgent for me to get all my classes transferred.

After that, we went to search for GMAT prep books, but we didn't find many and most of them were GRE books. So we checked the IUCAT, then we found that the latest version of GMAT prep book in the library was 2008, which is kinda old. So I decided to request a purchase of the 2010 edition GMAT prep book for our library. After sending the purchase suggestion through the library web page, I felt happy because I made a small contribution to our Kelley School and the students who are planning to take GMAT.

New semester :)

After a really fun break in Hawaii and the east coast, here I am, back to IU. ^_^

This semester is going to be kinda crazy, because I am taking A311, A325 and A329 three accounting classes together with other classes 17 credits in total. So today I went to the Business/SPEA Library to print something (because the computer lab on the first floor of Kelley was fullllll of people), but I found that the SPEA library's closed. (No wonder there were so many people in the computer lab!) Detail: http://www.libraries.iub.edu/index.php?pageId=77

Today I found that there are A LOT of libraries on campus: (Check which you have been to!)

Fine Arts Library

How many libraries have you been to? I have only been to a few of them. (Less than five :P) So I thought maybe I should go on a "journey" of all the libraries on campus! (Then it occurred to me that it would be a huge project so I thought that maybe I should do it step by step.)

Also, today I learned some tips of doing research from Chanitra (the most important one is to find the most appropriate database before doing research), and found that libraries should purchase more business case studies for Kelley students. Anyway, since the Business/SPEA Library is closed now, Kelley students would need more help with their research in the main library and it would be helpful to add more online resources for them. Oh, forgot to mention that now there is an Indiana University Digital Library Program (DLP) which is very convenient for online research: http://www.dlib.indiana.edu/.

All in all, I am back and looking forward to another colorful semester! :)
