I had an "I heart CGU" kind of day. I could make a t-shirt. I am finally recovered from jet lag and woke up at 9AM instead of 6AM. Glad for that. Made it to the library by 10AM to have my dissertation day. Read over the study I am working with primarily - lots of good ideas for literature to look for. Jessica called to see if I was going to the Leadership Roundtable I had RSVP'd for. Oops. I wanted to go still. Went in my jeans, crocs, and tshirt - typical library attire. Showed up at the meeting and it was all professors and directors - all dressed in professional clothes. Oops. Group of about 12. I saw the name Riggio and realized he has authored the book Multiple Intelligences. I have a notecard for comps on that book - and I was sitting at lunch across from the guy. Yeah. Jessica knows all the people in the room so it was no big deal to her. Several other big names in the field of leadership sat around the table. I wished I had dressed up just a little. Didn't say much - just listened and tried to look like I belonged. Left feeling a litle star-struck.
Another gorgeous day with sunny skies. Almost beach weather. Worked out for almost 2 hours. Then back to the library to study some more. Time flew by as I worked on my taxonomy. Then I went to a workshop hosted by the library on RefWorks. Apparently it is a web-based software to manage sources for bibliographies, etc. I have End Note but barely use it - I know it does more than I can make it do. So the 2 hour workshop showed me all the great things our program can do. CGU subscribes to the program - so it is free for all the students. Wow. I was so impressed. I could even keep quotes and citations in the program.
As I drove away from campus, I was so hyped up. A great research day. Great networking and learning day. Truly one of the best days I've had in Cali. If I could have worked in a trip to the beach, it would have been perfect.
