It's 7:30am, I've been up all night slogging through my final Cataloging and Classification I assignment on Dewey and LC, and I have the nerdiest mental comparison of what my struggle felt like to me. The imaginary conversation goes a little something like this:
Me: "You know that part in that LOTR movie where Gandalf fights that fire demon, you know... the Balrog?"
Nameless/Faceless Person: *Blank stare - clearly wondering where I'm going with this*
Me: "Well, anyway, I felt like my night-long battle with Dewey Decimal number building and Library of Congress classification numbers were analogous to Gandalf's struggle with the fiery entity in the dark pit deep in the Mines of Moria - Nobody knew that I was still awake and struggling with it, but in the end I triumphed and became a more powerful wizard... errr librarian..."
Nameless/Faceless Person: *No response except for generally shunning me for the embarassment I have become*
Hopefully my prof. doesn't write "You shall not pass!" on my assignment...
There we have it, blog friends; possibly the nerdiest thought to have ever crossed my mind, and that's saying a lot. Damn you, library school... damn you!!!
